Break for Discreet Cat after switch is delayed

by Jon Lees

DISCREET CAT will not be back in racing action until the second half of the year after his switch from Dubai to the United States was delayed on Wednesday.

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford reported the colt's recovery from a throat abscess was being continually monitored but progress was “slow” and as a result he would not be shipped to the US until some time next month.

Discreet Cat lost his unbeaten record when finishing last in the Dubai World Cup last month after which connections discovered he had “an aggressive
throat abscess”.

Crisford added: “He is still having treatment and making a slow recovery. We will have to delay his return to the United States and he will stay in Dubai until we can sort this out.

“Any plans we had for him early on in the campaignhave been shelved and that happened straight after the World Cup when we discovered this abscess.”

Before his defeat Discreet Cat, the joint-best three-year-old in the 2006 World Thoroughbred Rankings, had been due to be transferred to his American base this month with the Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont among his early targets.

“We are not talking a lengthy delay, just a few weeks, and hopefully he will travel some time next month, depending on how his condition improves,” Crisford said.

“We were looking at the Met Mile at the end of May but that is out of the way now. We won't consider targets until we get him back into training. I'm afraid this will knock him back and it is going to take a few months to get him back on the racetrack. It would be unrealistic to assume he will be racing before the second half of the year.”

Discreet Cat is a 12-1 chance with Coral for the Breeders' Cup Classic, for which Dubai World Cup winner Invasor is 4-1 favourite to win the race for the second year running.

Don't tell that to anyone here. We had people saying it was Dettori's ride that made him finish last.

Gonna use this thread, because I don't want to start something for such a simple question.

On this board, with all the new names from the old ESPN board. I was wondering?


is:

Drugs=Oracle
PointGiven85=blockhead

Sorry just trying to catch up on things. They seem to have th exact same style.

Thanks

No and no. Although... PG85 can definitely act like a blockhead.

Shhhh...If your quiet...they might not see you...slowly turn around and tiptoe away from this question.;)

I think the "blockhead" you are refering to no longer post here, he's on the "other" site.....and his style; is the pits! :mad:

Drugs is oracle?

Can't be. He hasn't wished cancer on a jock yet.

Why hasn't he celebrated Kip Deville's victory on here? I thought that was one of his favorite horsies.

PG1985 and blocky don't have similar styles at all.
Blocky is a jerk. PG1985 is not.
PG1985 comes out with some off-the-wall stuff sometimes, but he has never come close to something along the lines of...say...accusing a jockey of injecting a horse with some sort of mysterious substance DURING A RACE that caused the horse to win. Blocky did that.....and vehemently defended this position when others questioned it.

Nor do I owe half of Sartoga harness money.

As for being compared with Oracle....I guess I know how that Wayne Pshycocosbangpangaongaowgioa Chaing guy from Facebook feels....sort of.

You both have small wangs?

Not the case at all....

At least judging from what that Lebanese stripper told me 20 minutes ago.

I just think that the people on here seem to pick on PG85, like Block used to take it. However, you are right that Block was just a plain idiot and hardly ever made sense. PG is not like that. I don't think I had ever seen, including high school, anybody ever pick on somebody like Oracle would do to Block on the espn board.

Thanks for clearing this up about drugs and PG.

So what did he tell you?

To tell Morty hi and send him his best wishes

AHHHHHH!


Ya do have a widdy mousey-poo!







( I have to admit....you got me pretty good....





...you fink.)

Blocky=that stuff on ponds in the middle of summer!
