When I pulled up, I told the outrider that he probably went in 1:22 or 1:23 because of the way the track has been. When I saw the teletimer (1:21.53), I was surprised.”

...do you get the feeling he was impressed?...Ahhh, yes....I take it that he feels like this is maybe the best horse he ever sat on by his comments.....WOW!

Anyone still believe the Shieks aren't trump tight?

They just might have a couple of the best horses in the last 10 years right now.....very impressive stuff....

Joel,

That was sick! I was watching the race at a OTB and I heard a couple of construction workers making comments before the race like "I will never bet chalk like that." When the race started they made comments like "The chalk sucks, who ever played him is an idiot." I was just sitting back with a smirk. When Discreet Cat crossed the wire, I tapped when of them on the shoulder and said, "That horse is in the top five in the world." They gave me a crazy look and I left. Super impressive and I'm really looking forward to the Breeders' Cup.

These guys thought it was a 10K claiming race. All they knew was that they can bet against a heavy favorite. LOL

Yeah Gus, those kind of performances send chills down your spine...this was my Derby horse before they decided not to run him....He and Bernardini are pounds above the rest of the 3-year-olds in the world IMO....even George Washington and all Euros included - although I will admit i don't follow them super closely....I also think Henny Hughes is one of the best of his generation - just as a Sprinter and not a router....the Shieks are LOADED!

...Probably no BC for Discreet Cat though, Gus...r at least that is what they are claiming right now and I really can't blame them to be honest with you...they probably feel like they already have the race won with Bernardini and Invasor - and I think they are right...

Let's see how George Washington runs on Sunday, and then we will be able to more accurately predict how many "pounds better" they are.
