I think the two horses have more differences than similarities: Bernardini seems sound, but Discreet Cat has been characterized as the opposite by many on the internet. Bernardini is the son of a brilliant racehorse and sire expected to give the world the best; Discreet Cat is the son of an accomplished runner retired with soundness issues and still not an established sire. I believe Godolphin sees the two as quite different, at this point. Because Bernardini is a son of A.P. Indy and not Forestry, he could be too important to their breeding program. That will be the fans' loss and I hate it.
