Discreet Treasure
 
Nice looking debut win at Belmont today for a half sibling to the freakisly talented Discreet Cat.

Came from well off the pace to win by about 12 easy lengths.

Discreet Treasure
 
Half to Discreet Cat and Pretty Wild crushed his opponents in his debut today at Belmont. The time was nothing spectacular and he got a hot pace to run into, but he broke badly, appeared to be a little green, yet won by double digits and looked like he could've done three more laps around the track.

I'd like to see what he has on turf.

I think he was acting up in the paddock pretty bad also....Who are the connections??

No surprise that he enjoyed the off going...

Robsham/Hough. I think Sheikh Mo has them on speed dial.

Same ones that bred and owned Discreet Cat before he was sold.

And, MORE IMPORTANTLY, he still has his NUTS. Which comes 1st: they sell him or Hough gelds him?

I told you the story about his mom before the alabama, right?

I will be surprised to see this horse win another race on the dirt provided the track is fast. If anything, he will prove a turf horse. First of all, you have to assume that a half to Discreet Cat would not have been entered on the turf for its debut if the connections really felt he was a dirt horse. Also, look at him, he's a grey which probably means he takes after his sire, El Prado, more than his dam which makes him more likely to be a turf horse.

I hope this horse makes his second start on the dirt at Saratoga, and the track is dry, so I can bet against him with confidence.

I completely dont get the bolded.
Need some help. Because he is the same color as his sire,
he must be more like his sire in other ways also?

Is that what this means?

If so, it is horribly wrong, even with the probably.

Did you have to spoil your valid points with a silly comment like that?

Why, was his mom a grey?

I assume you must mean the old "bet a grey on a rainy day" angle.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it silly.

Even the dosage index people will mock you on this one.

Please link me to someone who does understand it - and let me read their explanation and evidence.

Plenty of people will agree with what I posted, which doesn't make it right, but I guess I have to admit that your position is strengthened by the support from one of the most clueless posters on this site.
