This is why it is so pointless to ask who a horse beat. It's not who they beat, it's how they do it. There were people who were asking who Bellamy Road beat in the Wood. He won by 18 lengths and people are asking who he beat. It's unbelievable.
Who did Discreet Cat beat the other day? Who cares who he beat! It doesn't take a genius to see that he he ran incedible and he is no worse than the 2nd best 3 year old in the country right now. The only horse who might be able to beat him is Bernardini. It's amazing that I know this despite the fact that Discreet Cat didn't beat anyone the other day.
It was amazing that people figured out that Henny Hughes' comeback at Monmouth was a great race despite the fact that he didn't beat anyone that day. The fans must be geniuses. They made Henny 4-5 in the King's Bishop. Did you think he sould have been 10-1 that day since he didn't beat anyone at Monmouth?

The difference is that Henny ran a ridiculous fig and also has beaten decent horses in the past. Can you say the same about lawyer Ron?
