Discreet Cat's future

Any infection at this point is bullshit. He either has some issues or he wasnt fit enough to run a race of that magnitude. I think its a combo of both, he has some issues, and they handled him too carefully getting him ready. Had no shot from the day they opted out of the prep. You dont train up to a race like that.

it's not bullshit....

but then, i remember when afleet alex lost badly at oaklawn, he was called everything people could think of--and they said infection. people cried foul then too--boy, they were on target!

what, dc was supposed to tap on someones shoulder and say hey, my sinuses are draining? yeah, then i could train....

he's done well off a layoff before, so to say you don't train up is bullshit.

I don't think he was ready for the race. Anytime you miss a prep that was planned, you're in a bad spot.

I don't understand why the Sheikhs haven't cut ties with Saeed bin Suroor. Surely there is another muhammed or bin that can halfway train a horse over there.

Its bullshit, that horse was about 70%. They should be ashamed of themselves for even putting that horse in that spot off no prep. They deserved to get drilled. Too bad for the horse, hes a stone cold freak, however he cant condition himself. You cant run at 70% when you are up against monsters.

They pulled that horses blood and ran tests before the prep/workout, you dont think they would do that before a 6 million dollar race? If there was an infection they wouldnt have ran AGAIN. They have an unlimited supply of Frankle cards. The excuses after the fact are ridiculous, nobody wants to hear them. The only legitiment excuse is he was trained poorly, and thrown to the wolves short.
