The new BC mile race plays right into Hard Spun's wheel house.

The mile / dirt has a purse of 1 million dollars and is actually run at 1 mile and 70 yard this year because of the track configuration. ( I guess) Dont know if it is graded. He fits the mile much better than the Classic.

It's not graded, as far as I know.

Lava Man and Discreet Cat are going in that race. Highly unlikely they will ever allowHard Spun to race against Discreet Cat.

Here's a good question. Who runs in more races from this day to the end of the year? Discreet Cat or Rags To Riches?
C.) None of the above.

Discreet Cat will get there and will probably do something similar to Ghostzapper's Met Mile and wow everyone, then they will retire him.

Here's the difference... Ghostzapper had nothing to prove to breeders at that point in his career. He was already the best horse in the world by 4-5 lengths at any distance, and unfortunately a fracture would have kept him out of training for too long as a 5yo. Discreet Cat has shown flashes of brilliance but hasn't sustained anything to justify a sky high stud fee.

Now that's a real crap shot to get a lay off horse to win a breeders cup and WOW them. I guess it will be all or nothing with Disceet Cat, my bet will be nothing.
