Yeah--he was the 2nd choice in the betting---behind a younger, lightly raced horse who had never faced an iota of actual in-race adversity before, and who was certain to face it for the first time in the Classic.
Unlike the BC Classic, the Dubai World Cup probably isn't going to be a very fast paced race. Moreover, Discreet Cat is more suited to the style of that racetrack.
The betting public isn't stupid either---Discreet Cat will not only be the favorite if he's to run in that race--but I expect he'll be favored by a wider margin than most people think.
