...do you get the feeling he was impressed?...Ahhh, yes....I take it that he feels like this is maybe the best horse he ever sat on by his comments.....WOW!
Anyone still believe the Shieks aren't trump tight?
They just might have a couple of the best horses in the last 10 years right now.....very impressive stuff....

Joel,
That was sick! I was watching the race at a OTB and I heard a couple of construction workers making comments before the race like "I will never bet chalk like that." When the race started they made comments like "The chalk sucks, who ever played him is an idiot." I was just sitting back with a smirk. When Discreet Cat crossed the wire, I tapped when of them on the shoulder and said, "That horse is in the top five in the world." They gave me a crazy look and I left. Super impressive and I'm really looking forward to the Breeders' Cup.
