Bernardini is the real deal,
but Discreet Cat is an absolute once in a lifetime freak.
how are you going to fault a horse that does not lose?

yeah,
Godolphin does the aggressive thing in Europe,
and stays somewhat conservative here.
have yet to figure it out yet completely.
whatever they do, they always hide behind the term "do whatever is best for the horse".
whatever the hell that means.
if anyone was really concerned about what was best for the horse, they would just run around in fields somewhere on the Irish countryside.

I would never tell another man what to do with his horse(they can shoot it in the head for all I care), but I just hate ppl hiding behind that damn phrase.

Exclamation Dutrow to Cali

Cause of course I know nothing


Dutrow is sending a string of horse to Cali to train at hollywood

some of you have no clue about peoples knowledge that just makes me laugh that some people are so caught up in themselves that if they would stop and listen for a minute they might learn a little bit and not sound ignorant

Ehh, I don't know about that one. Call me naive, but I think if he had made The Dwyer like they originally wanted him to, we would've seen him in the BCC. But off one seven-furlong start and one one-turn mile start against strictly 3-year-olds, that's a lot to ask of a horse to run him at ten furlongs against a full field in the toughest dirt race on earth. Even a horse this good.
