Mettee said that despite the slower move, he could have Discreet Cat ready to go in the Classic should Bernardini be forced to miss the race for some reason.
"I wouldn't hesitate to come back in four days and do a strong piece of work if we had to if, God forbid, something happened to Bernardini," Mettee said.

These comments were in the DRF. Check out the comments from Mettee. He says he could have him ready for the Classic if for some reason Bernardini is pulled out. So then what he's saying is that they aren't skipping the BC because they think it's what's best for the horse but because they already have another horse for the race. But if for some reason Bernardini doesn't go, all of a sudden DC would be in there. In no way are they looking out for the best interests of the horse. U can't skip the Classic and say it's because he's just not ready for that kind of test at this point and then say u are doing what's in the best interests of the horse but then throw him in if your other horse doesn't go. It just pisses me off when people make whatever decisions they make and then try to file them all under "doing what's best for the horse".

You're confused. I'm not saying if they skip the BC, their INTENTION is to do what's best for the horse. I'm saying that's what they'll be doing. If they don't go in the BC, I believe that's what's best for the horse, regardless of whether that's their intention or not.
