People look at horses differently. DCat has run very fast and brilliantly but has really beat just two quality horses, Invasor and Silver Train, while winning one Grade 1 race. There have been many single Grade 1 winners, just few who ran as quick as he has. Based on his big wins only, yes, sure, he is very special. Then again, his two wins last fall were in 5 and 6 horse fields in which he beat just one high quality racehorse. I would love to see him succeed in a big field, win when denied his preferred running style or win giving significant weight. Hopefully, he'll stay sound enough and stay on the track long enough for some of those things to happen. But it doesn't look that way.
