You think the track was that much slower the next day. I think the time difference adds up to about a 10 length differece. My facts may be off but I saw both those races live! A little tipsy but live.

Yes, not only can the track change by day, but BY RACE. It is how they did it. Henny also came back from that and dusted older sprinters, while getting pace pressure.

Throw in the fact that DC hasnt been taken to the whip in his US races and its astonishing how fast his final times are..

discreet cat is a very very very good horse, but why do people like you always rush to compare a horse to secretariat? secretariat is one of the best 3 horses (many of course would rank him #1) to EVER live. when you make a comparison like that....you make yourself sound foolish and diminish the strength of your argument....which seems to be that discreet cat is an extremely talented horse.

why not say....this horse is (or could be) like smarty jones, or alysheba, or silver charm, or any of the other great 3yos. we would get your point....and you wouldn't be reduced to comparisons quite so absurd.

All im saying is that discreet cat has the ability to win races by more than 20 lengths. But I cant see anyone beating this horse. I do believe that Secretaiat did lose some races and not to great horses either. I think one was in the wood.

I'm pretty sure if I took on any horse at seven furlongs that he would have the ability to beat me by more than 20 lengths.

yes he had only 16 wins in 21 starts....so are you now using that to say that discreet cat is better that Secretariat? affirmed and the bid lost races too.....so did man o' war.

hooooray! discreet cat is now the greatest horse of all time!!!
does that pretty much sum up your argument?

Yep, Secretariat lost the Wood, running with an abscess in his mouth the size of a half dollar...he lost other races too, what is the point? He was the greatest horse to ever step on a track! We can debate that...some prefer MOW, Ribot, Kincsem (OK, I rank her co-#1 myself) but to compare any young, still unaccomplished horse to Secretariat just isn't fair to that young horse!
