All im saying is that discreet cat has the ability to win races by more than 20 lengths. But I cant see anyone beating this horse. I do believe that Secretaiat did lose some races and not to great horses either. I think one was in the wood.

I'm pretty sure if I took on any horse at seven furlongs that he would have the ability to beat me by more than 20 lengths.

yes he had only 16 wins in 21 starts....so are you now using that to say that discreet cat is better that Secretariat? affirmed and the bid lost races too.....so did man o' war.

hooooray! discreet cat is now the greatest horse of all time!!!
does that pretty much sum up your argument?

Yep, Secretariat lost the Wood, running with an abscess in his mouth the size of a half dollar...he lost other races too, what is the point? He was the greatest horse to ever step on a track! We can debate that...some prefer MOW, Ribot, Kincsem (OK, I rank her co-#1 myself) but to compare any young, still unaccomplished horse to Secretariat just isn't fair to that young horse!

absolutely correct.

when people make comparisons like that it really makes me mad.....because i like discreet cat....and he is a very good horse. when people get on here and make stupid comparisons it almost makes me root against the horse (which i don't want to do) just because a loss is the only way to shut these people up.
