Fastest horse ever!

He ran before my time but you guys forgot about a horse named Dr.Fager.
Discreet Cat might be our Dr. Fager but legend has it that the old Dr. was very fast and he performed over multiple racetracks.

lol
yeah legend was right.

like I said, DCat has a lot of running to do before he is mentioned with the horses we generally think of as the fastest like Dr Fager, Coaltown and Tom Fool.

hell,
he has a lot to do until he is in Ghostzapper's league.

What made Gzap so unique was his ability to run huge at so many distances. He was a true every distance horse. He could've won a Grade I at any distance. Remarkable horse....Wanted to see some Turf with him.

yeah,
and I guess he actually did win a G1 at every important distance
6f(well, 6.5), 8, and 10f.

that spectrum about covers it all.

Let's keep him in training first.

I don't know if he is a 10 panel horse, but he isn't headstrong so that's a plus. I'll say this. If he's in form, there isn't a horse around right now who will beat him at a flat mile.

In the other thread i put GZ is the only horse that might of been able to keep up with DC. But if Castellano decided to pull the trigger too soon and start waving his finger 50 yards from the wire he wouldn't have a chance

Who cares how fast he is. I never understood this point. If a horse wins wins wins and wins Graded races then who cares what his times are. Cat beat a very decent field today. Granted that Silver Train is not what he used to be and BOS was racing for only the 2nd time in 11 months. But they are Grade I winners so u can say he beat Grade winners.

THe weight issue wasnt all that big of a deal. I dont think a 3 year old should ever give weight to an older grade I winner. But it wasnt like he was giving 15 lbs.

I think Silver Train ran a Grade 1 winning race today. Unfortunately he faced DIscreet Cat who is a better horse.

BOS and ST ran Grade I races today. They ran very good. But Cat is just better.

Now Discrete Cat will be forever overbet at 1-9 type odds. He has to lose at some point.

brockguy · #12 11-26-2006, 05:17 PM

just saw the race.. Super run by DCat, it's the first time in a while that hes faced proper useful horses and won nicely in the end.... onwards and upwards from here I hope.. If only he can stay injury free (easier said than done though!!)

Im not sure why.
they will spot him conservatively.
they retired Lammtarra undefeated, and he was spotted a lot more aggresively than DCat.

I agree. Silver Train took on Discreet Cat in the fastest part of the race and ran probably as well as he ever has. Badge of Silver, who one has to give credit for coming back from the dead many times, was a very lucky second.

Well it seems we're all in agreement then. Before this race I was trying to predict which horse would run well and which would be off, between Silver Train and Badge of Silver, and as it turns out they both answered the call on the big day. Man did Silver train tear it up. For a moment I thought I saw BOS with enough momentum to possible get past Discreet Cat. That moment closed quickly.
That's a race we won't soon forget.

Absolutely. Let's burn all clocks and just call them all winners. That's genius.

My post was not a knock on Discreet Cat. I think has to be the potential to be one of the greats. Racing is different in this day of age. Hopefully he runs enough next season to solidify himself as one of the all time GREATS.
