This gets to so much of what's wrong with racing these days in that these horses run so selectively that every race is put under the microscope. Of course most horses have bad days, and if you know anything obviously Discreet Cat's Dubai World Cup performance is a complete throwout, but with so much emphasis being put on one day, like the BC, each race becomes enhanced or exagerated.
