How Good Is Invasor?

I’m a big fan of race replays on YouTube.

In an effort to achieve the elusive quiet mind I’ve created this site to expel my occasional observations, thoughts and snark about horse racing in a brief, broadcast-style format (i.e., no comments).  You can also follow along at @exactamundo (also broadcast-style, i.e., just links from here… well, that’s the plan at…
