Simply put, the best horse in the nation. hand ride.

132:46. I love this horse.

glad you hit it rand...

Hey 8.40 is better than a sharp stick in the eye. Lol.

He made 2 very good older horses who ran very good races look mediocre. He friggin equaled the track record under a damn hand ride. Best horse in the nation no doubts anymore.

Gomez was confident as hell even with Silver Train ahead at the rail and Badge of Silver on the outside coming to him. Still never hit him and didn't ask him until real late.

Gotta see him go two turns in America.. DC vs. Invasor.. I'm drooling.

I couldn't agree more. Have you ever seen a jock that confident after his horse went 1:07 for 6 furlongs. OMG.

equalled the track record by Easygoer and they turned 3/4 in 1:07 and change...now that was an eye popper.

Amazing final time... Prior to today I wasnt totally convinced, but after seeing that, how could anyone not be.

super horse.....agreed its a man law...

at the 3/4 Silver Train actually had the lead by a head...amazing race and Silver Train and BOS came up huge only to lose...SH looked demoralized after he lost the lead. This race will not hurt ST or BOS at stud.

Well that was impressive. Discreet is on his way back to Dubai. Who knows if we will ever see him again in the US. Invasor is heading to the Donn so that is good.

The connections of Sharp Humor are plain stupid. This horse is contantly in the wrong spots. They should be ashamed.

No I haven't. He was sitting confident and chilly through truly mindnumbing fractions. When I saw how the initial stages of the race set up I thought that this could be the day he gets caught because BOS was laying back while ST took it to him. That was a great performance.

For anyone who missed the race.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_4tZHFYf0U

i agree this was a little steep but if we knock guys for trying then how can we knock the winners by saying they beat nothing?

I have never complained about a horse never beatin anyone. I always maintain the position that a horse can only beat who enteres into the race. But the connections of Sharp Humor should know their horse is not a Grade I horse (right now). And this spot they had to have known they had NO shot against the top 3. Sometimes it is worthy to try and sometimes it is plain stupid to try. In this case, it was plain stupid. Maybe I am being harsh, but I think they keep looking back at their close 2nd to Barbaro and feel they have something here--imo, they dont.

Does anyone know when they started timing races in the hundredths at Aqueduct? The reason I ask is because I am thinking that when Easy Goer ran his 1:32 2/5, they were still timing in 5ths and they just gave him the fastest possible time when saying that he ran 1:32.40 If they were still timing in 5ths at the time, then EG's actual time was anywhere between 1:32.40 and 1:32.59 which means that with with his 1:32.46, there is an above average chance that Discreet Cat actually broke EG's mark even though he won't get credit for even equalling it. Yes, I know that they are saying that he equalled the record, and by 5ths he did. I was looking at Equibase though and they listed the record at 1:32.40 so DC won't get credited for equalling the record.
