Even with his mum, one's mind boggles at the idea that a Forestry will win a first class 10f race. He would have to be tons the best.

All the gaga over Discreet Cat's chances reminds me of no-can-lose Bernardini before the BC Classic.

I like Invasor's chances. He's faced and beaten better horses, has a race, and likes the distance.

Yep, he's going to crush the hearts of the D'Cat's, just like he crushed the dreams of the Bernardinians.

bernardini was a great horse but everyone questioned what he beat going into the classic, everyone was wondering if he could beat really good horses, with discreet cat he has already soundly defeated a champion on his own track, silver train that is, on a track he loved... belmont, i think its totally different to compare the 2.

Huh, Discreet Cat has faced older horses and won. And beat Invasor which no other horse can say they they've done.....He isn't remotely comparable to Bernie....Judging from the thread, a heck of a lot more peolple like Invasor than DC in this spot.

looking through this thread, seems there are the same number of Invasor supporters as there are DCats.. and a lot of Premium Tap fans!!

I'd like to see Invasor and Premium Tap fighting down the stretch like MDO and Pleasantly Perfect in 2004. Box exacta though I'd give P.T. the edge since he's been over there for awhile.

God that was awesome. What a memory. Even though PP had it in the bag. He had already given MDO the ole evil eye. Funny thing about that race, I am life long friends with his exercise rider Crystal, our moms have been best friends for over 30yrs. We had a big old breakfast get together at her moms house to watch the race. We were so excited during the race that the phone starts ringing off the hook, it is 2 of the neighbors wanting to know what was the matter and if we needed the police. Seems we were cheering ole PP on just alittle to loudly! As you can tell by my screename I am alittle partial to him.

Even though MDO was 2nd, I thought it was his best race. My daughter and I were also cheering for Pleasantly Perfect! My neighbors are used to it by now.

invasor!! his lone loss may have been vs discreet cat, but that was a year ago--and a rotten trip from what i understand for invasor, who was coming on again at the end. time to turn the tables, and get revenge for a blemish on his otherwise perfect record--and give DC one in turn!
