Default David Junior

I hear so little of this horse, so let me make my prediction now, he will win the BC Classic.

No. Tomorrow (Discreet Cat) and next weekend (Bernardini) will change a lot of the ambitious plans of these trainers. Not saying he won't be here for the Classic but I'd say it's much less than a definite at this point. Probably 50% or a little less.

I agree, although they will probably try David Junior anyway. I think that Bernardini really has Invasor's camp worried, and Invasor is not a lightweight...

You know, I would love to see a Discreet Cat and Bernardini race each other one day...

If Bernardini goes in the Classic, I doubt Discreet Cat will. I hope that they throw Discreet Cat in the sprint, or either wait and race him in the Clark or the Cigar...

I think Discreet Cat is the best horse in the country, if not the world. But I don't think he's fast enough for the Sprint. I'd love to see him in the Mile. I think he'd take that race easily.

You and me both...Discreet Cat is unbelievable. Yeah, the allowance he won was at seven furlongs, but the jock didn't even use him at all. With his running style, I think he could sit off the leaders in the sprint, and blow by them in the final sixteenth of the race. The horse is freaking fast. You may be very right though. I would really like to see him in the Cigar Mile and see him in the Met Mile next year. From there, it is on to an eventual Classic win after winning all of the major summer and early fall GIs, and then HOY...

I don't know how he would race on the grass...I'm still very new at the breeding aspect of this game...
