And after The most disgraceful thing I've ever seen in the Brass Hat debacle, I'd have to say anyone who brings a truly good horse over there has to be kidding. I don't think its a very level playing field over there.

That being said, I have no gripes with calling Discreet cat potentially one of the fastest milers in decades, provided he actually beats someone besides Valid Notebook, Superfly, Testimony(LOL!!), and Accountforgold. Thats not exactly an allstar cast there.
Yes what those pricks did to the Bradleys was reprehensible. I guess that's what happens when you deal with rich nomads.

Its in the same league as what Illinois just did to Wolfson. I find it VERY HARD to believe that Wolfson's horse was the only horse who raced that day who had trace levels of antiimflammatories!!!!!!!! Its called keeping the money "in house". Especially since the guy had never had a single postive in his life.
Guy I know shipped a horse to a small track near here for a stakes race. Brought in a NYRA jock also. Funny thing happened at the gate, they tailed him and teh asst starter wasnt real good with him in the gate, geez who'd figure? He broke bad of course and lost all chance.
