FS has a funky scooting stride.
Of course I thought Michael Johnson's stride was weird.
Whatever works.

Sprints are crazy.
Discreet Cat had his speed duel to set up and pounce
but he had nothing. 6 months off and you throw him right
in against that kind of speed. I guess they know their horse.
Its not like he ran awful but heck thats really tough.

Didn't Discreet Cat beat Invasor ? I believe that's what they said on ESPN.

In Dubai, when Invasor was clearly off his game. I was pretty disappointed in Discreet Cat today, and I've been a fan since I saw him break his maiden on Travers Day '05. I also was in favor of throwing out his DWC, and maybe another injury came up today (distinct possibility), but he just seems to be a mess as a four-year-old.

Well said! I lost a ton last weekend made it back this weekend, after beating myself up all week. All in the name of fun!

I was just joking. You win in this game by having strong convictions, even though we all know we'll be wrong more than we are right.

I was majorly disappointed with DCat today, but am inclined to give him another chance. He has been so impressive off layoffs before but not at this level so they might have gone in too deep too fast.If he does improve leaps and bounds and gets a win in the Dirt Mile and maybe a repeat in the Cigar Mile, it would still be seen as a letdown for a horse of his potential..

DrugS, someone handed me this note for you....

My Dear Druggie-Poo:

Do you now know who the real beast is?

Discreet Cat is such a pretty boy he should be hanging out with Hossy and his pink sportcoat and nailing the HO's.

Warmest Regards,

Mr. F. Strike


p.s. It has been great hangin with you this summer

Mr. F. Strike only liked me so much because I fed him candy one time when their was a sign taped right on his stall saying "no candy"

In a match-up between two of my personal favorites: Discreet Cat and Fabulous Strike - I bet my money on Mach Ride.
