Discreet and the Cigar

[ELA]

I think Silver Train raced much better than BOS. ST made and was in a battle while BOS kind of sat the trip. Granted he sat the trip and had to run in order to get up (but he did just get up). He had the best trip of them all.

I am not insulting him or his performance. I think he is a tough ol' horse who has had soundness problems all his life and to be able to show up and be there in the big dances, that takes a lot.

He caught a perfect trip and pace to track and pounce on, and although his raw time was great, I just can't say how great it was due to the surface.
These scraped tracks make it hard to gauge how good a performance really was.

Nobiz Like Shobiz looked senastional winning the Remsen. However I think he looked very green in the stretch as he was running away from the field.

I'm looking forward to watching Nobiz Like Shobiz when he matures and runs a 1 1/8 and a 1 1/4. He looks like a serious candidate on the Road for the Roses. Taggs been there before and he's acting like he thinks this horse can be a Derby winner.

The Big Train put the big 3/4 on the board and Sharp Humor gave the pace the big jump in the 1/4...yo, if this is not the best race of the year, what is ?

LOL, I have no idea why you'd think I'm bitter. I didn't like Barbaro, didn't dislike Barbaro. I'm just pointing out an observation I thought seemed pretty obvious.. Not bitter at all, still drooling over a possible Discreet Cat vs. Invasor matchup..

was making an observation of my own, you seem to see something that isn't there regarding sharp humor. i haven't seen anyone rooting him on at all.


and i would love to see a dc invasor rematch as well. i read the invasor article in bloodhorse, did you happen to see it? wasn't aware he had a sesamoid fracture early on in his career til this story...and also saw he had a troubled trip in dubai. how troubled i don't know, i wasn't lucky enough to have seen the race.
maybe the DWC will bring us what we wish for.
