There you went and did it....never take the name of Secretariat in vain! The racing gods will now punish you...bet lightly for awhile!

discreet cat is a very very very good horse, but why do people like you always rush to compare a horse to secretariat? secretariat is one of the best 3 horses (many of course would rank him #1) to EVER live. when you make a comparison like that....you make yourself sound foolish and diminish the strength of your argument....which seems to be that discreet cat is an extremely talented horse.

why not say....this horse is (or could be) like smarty jones, or alysheba, or silver charm, or any of the other great 3yos. we would get your point....and you wouldn't be reduced to comparisons quite so absurd.

All im saying is that discreet cat has the ability to win races by more than 20 lengths. But I cant see anyone beating this horse. I do believe that Secretaiat did lose some races and not to great horses either. I think one was in the wood.

I'm pretty sure if I took on any horse at seven furlongs that he would have the ability to beat me by more than 20 lengths.

yes he had only 16 wins in 21 starts....so are you now using that to say that discreet cat is better that Secretariat? affirmed and the bid lost races too.....so did man o' war.

hooooray! discreet cat is now the greatest horse of all time!!!
does that pretty much sum up your argument?

Yep, Secretariat lost the Wood, running with an abscess in his mouth the size of a half dollar...he lost other races too, what is the point? He was the greatest horse to ever step on a track! We can debate that...some prefer MOW, Ribot, Kincsem (OK, I rank her co-#1 myself) but to compare any young, still unaccomplished horse to Secretariat just isn't fair to that young horse!

absolutely correct.

when people make comparisons like that it really makes me mad.....because i like discreet cat....and he is a very good horse. when people get on here and make stupid comparisons it almost makes me root against the horse (which i don't want to do) just because a loss is the only way to shut these people up.
