I'm sure they've envisioned a stallion ad that reads something like:
* Invasor. Triple Crown winner in his native land. Undefeated in America and two time American horse of the year. Only horse to win two Breeders Cup Classics and a Dubai World Cup.
* Discreet Cat. Royally bred, Brilliant, and Undefeated winner who toyed with his foes on Breeders Cup day. Ran a crop best 106 Beyer in his only start at age 2, won the Grade 1 Cigar Mile in 1:32 2/5ths at age 3, and so on
Not that I have any proof that's what is going on...and I really hope it isn't. Hopefully, Discreet Cat really did have a slight fever, and the way the Godolphin horses have been performing of late, I guess it's possible something could be going around the barn
