His universe is Zapper-centric.

HA! Probably right.

They caved to the "prep for the BC" stuff, I guess.

If Discreet Cat were to crush the field in the BCC at Monmouth it would be another story, which if he were a good as he is being billed he would easily do. I prefer to pile on the accolades after the great performances are documented. The victory over two opponents in the Cigar was a very fast mile, but I don't think it quite puts one in the rarified air just yet.
He's good, but he ain't Ghostzapper.
