THE OTHER cAT

[LARHAGE]

Oh man! If only those two horses were facing off tomorrow in the Travers, that would be the race of the year, man how good are Bernardini and Discreet Cat, the great thing about the Sheiks owning them instead of those greedy Coolmore guys, is they actually LOVE to race their horses, it could be a great rivalry next year as well!!!!!

But ... the last great horse they had ... Lammtarra ...

... raced only three times as a 3YO ... then was retired.

I don't see the sheiks being such great "sportsmen."

I hope the Sheikh runs Bernardini next year and doesn't ship him off to stud before we really know his true potential. I thought for sure a month or so ago that it would be a sure thing, but now I'm getting nervous that the Sheikh Mohammed may count on DC next year so that he can make Bernardini the top man at Darley/Jonabell.
