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.

Yeah Gus, those kind of performances send chills down your spine...this was my Derby horse before they decided not to run him....He and Bernardini are pounds above the rest of the 3-year-olds in the world IMO....even George Washington and all Euros included - although I will admit i don't follow them super closely....I also think Henny Hughes is one of the best of his generation - just as a Sprinter and not a router....the Shieks are LOADED!
...Probably no BC for Discreet Cat though, Gus...r at least that is what they are claiming right now and I really can't blame them to be honest with you...they probably feel like they already have the race won with Bernardini and Invasor - and I think they are right...
