Discreet Cat; a good bet against?

Could be by the sounds of this. On paper, he should jog, but they're thinking about the next race (maybe two races from now). I'll probably stay away, but these comments have me thinking about it:


Although Discreet Cat has been working steadily, Mettee cautioned that the dynamic 3-year old might not be at his best on Friday.

"I think he is still probably a few works away," Mettee said. "We just felt this was a good opportunity to run him and get him started. Seven furlongs should be a good spot to get him going."

The Jerome Breeder's Cup Handicap (gr. II), a $150,000 stakes at Belmont Park on Oct. 1, has been the long-range goal for Discreet Cat. Mettee feels Friday's race should be a perfect bridge to the Jerome.

"Win or lose, I think this race will help him for the Jerome," Mettee said. "There are some good older horses in there on Friday. This should help us move forward. We should be able to build off this race."
