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

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.

Discreet Cat might be our Dr. Fager but legend has it that the old Dr. was very fast and he performed over multiple racetracks.
Nice call DC is on his way with multiple wins in Dubai/NY now back to Dubai all I just really find this horse a once in a lifetime animal, i remember a few months back when people said silver train would beat him, not only did that not happen he ran him into the ground and gave pounds to him

Good point, he was giving weight here to every single horse despite only an allowance win and the Jerome since coming to the States. That's respect.

I beg to differ.....I would say it was an inexcplicable job by the racing secretary. Don't get me wrong, Discreet Cat is obviously the best horse in today's race, and I couldn't care less about weight, but for him to give four pounds ( six on scale ) the last year's BC Sprint, the year's Met and Tom Fool, winner is utterly ridiculous.

If you ask me it sounds like he asked the connections of the other horses what weight assignments they would consider fair. If Frankel trained Discreet Cat he would have stayed in the barn.

And let me add.....am I the only person on this board that knows anything about this game?????

I didn't say I thought it was right, simply that he did have to give the weight.

Hey, I think I know a little. But your take on Frankel was funny. He would be bitchin up a storm. But NO WAY should a 3 year old give weight to Grade I older horses.
