OK, so Bernardini has faced less than Discreet Cat going into the showdown against Invasor if that makes you feel better. Of course Bernardini had run at the relevant distance prior to the showdown unlike Discreet Cat. Let's see if Discreet Cat can even beat Premium Tap at 10 furlongs before we worry about him against Invasor.

Brock, I think that win does mean something especially b/c it wasn't even close. This is DC's home track and he has shown an affinity for it....Just wish DC had a prep. Think he still wins, but it won't be easy.

Assuming the track plays even, it looks like Discreet Cats race to lose. There is very little pace in here and he should be able to dictate the race from the front end or just off the flank of one of the pretenders. He can run the turns as well as any horse in training and may have a sizable advantage turning for home. If he can get 2400 meters then I see him as the most likely winner.

Bernardini did beat the rest of the field on BC day coming in second,including Lava Man, imo is still rather impressive.

Spooky Mulder beat Silver Train. Hell, Tani Maru beat Silver Train. Away from Belmont he's not a very good horse. Premium Tap, who Bernardini beat is a much a better horse than Silver Train at a mile at Aqueduct.

Oops, my bad, for whatever reason I thought this was your point...
