It is amazing the difference in attention given to the two horses. Discreet Cat finished his 3yo season with wins in an allowance, the Jerome, and the Cigar Mile. His Beyers were 112/115/116. Daaher won the same three races. I don't have his Beyers in front of me but I believe they are something like 107/110/114. Not a lot separating the two there and realistically based on the pattern you could conclude that Discreet Cat had plateaued at that point while Daaher is still on the upswing.
