Lamtarra ran like four times.

That was too funny. I was thinking the same exact thing. I read where they will run Cat in the DWC and then back to the US. I guess he will try the Met Mile, maybe the JCGC and then maybe the BCC. I would be happy with that schedule for Cat in 2007.

It think the earliest we see him is the Stephen Foster and more likely the Whitney. Whatever the case, i hope he stays sound, survives Dubai, and comes back as good if not better. Nothing wrong with seeing good horses run even if it's far too infrequently.

the Street Cry schedule makes much more sense than what Euro suggested.

Yeah, you are probably correct. I guess it all depends on how he is feeling. Plus cutting back to 1 mile doesnt make since either after the DWC.

yeah,
and 3 of those 4 were the biggest races in all of Europe.

Id say he was campaigned much more aggresively at the age of 3 than DCat was.

you guys are out of your minds if you thinking running in the UAE Derby, a Saratoga alllowance, the Jerome and the Cigar Mile is a more aggresive campaign than the Derby, the King George and the Arc.
it does not get any tougher than that and Lammtarra won all 3.

Yeah, and the Sheik actually said when retiring him " he's done enough ". Wouldn't even bring him over to face the tough Northern Spur in the BC.

The guy really is a sport.

Discreet Cat's year was cut short due to physical problems. This horse had soreness issues since the very beginning and it really wasn't until late in the summer that he came around. Much as I would have liked to have seen him run more it seems very apparent they did the right thing with him. I know for a fact that he was much better physically in the Fall than he was in the late Spring.

hes not a sport.
never said he was.
what I said was that its very possible DCat will retire undefeated just as Lammtarra did.
and yes, they were much more aggresive with Lamm.
dont pretend he did not have "physical problems" as well.

I don't know anything about Lammtarra's physical situation but I do know about Discreet Cat's.

Lammtarra did not get an aggressive campaign by any stretch of the imagination. What he did do in his absurdly short career was run in three of the biggest races in Europe.

What he did not do that they are at least planning to do with Discreet Cat is run as a 4YO. While I understand they do need to win some big races with Discreet Cat to cement his status going to the breeding shed I am at a loss to remember Lammtarra's roster of Grade 1 and Group 1 winners. Please, feel free to enlighten me. If the list gets too long for one post feel free to start a second.

like I said,
Lamm was campaigned more aggresively than DCat as a 3YO.
anything about DCat's campaign beyond that is pure speculation.

and what are you asking for?
grade/group 1 winners sired by Lamm?
are you kidding?
what does that have to do with anything?
