His task was made easier with the rating tactics used on One Sock Down. OSD is a speed sprinter -- not a mid-pack miler -- understandable that they tried to make him something that he's not today instead of duel with the superior Discreet Cat colt. OSD will improve on the cut-back and tactic switch.
Big day for Discreet Cat. Not just this nice Pletcher winner in Florida... but in So. Cal a son of his took the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita and looked really good finishing up. That one may not be quite as talented -- but that one will be well suited to 9fs and probably even further than that.
