The family owns both horses....and really, they only stand to gain by keeping them apart and running them at their precieved best distances.

I'm sure they've envisioned a stallion ad that reads something like:

* Invasor. Triple Crown winner in his native land. Undefeated in America and two time American horse of the year. Only horse to win two Breeders Cup Classics and a Dubai World Cup.

* Discreet Cat. Royally bred, Brilliant, and Undefeated winner who toyed with his foes on Breeders Cup day. Ran a crop best 106 Beyer in his only start at age 2, won the Grade 1 Cigar Mile in 1:32 2/5ths at age 3, and so on

Not that I have any proof that's what is going on...and I really hope it isn't. Hopefully, Discreet Cat really did have a slight fever, and the way the Godolphin horses have been performing of late, I guess it's possible something could be going around the barn

if d.c. makes it to the cup he gallops.........wins for fun, 5 to 10 lengths

Either you need better reading comprehension skills or my writing is confusing. Perhaps the latter.

I was tossing around a scenerio....where the Maktoum family is envisioning what might be, if they keep these two horses apart all year long, and race them at their precieved best distance.
