Given the state of American racing, where it is rare to see to horses of Invasor and Discreet Cat's quality, I should have a brighter outlook on the World Cup.

(And I'm not usually someone who cares about the "hype" if the event is a world-class event, like the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, etc. And of course, I need no prompt for our classics, Breeders' Cup, and other big, but lesser, racing days. Maybe a little too much sports talk radio listening for me recently!)

The Godolphin boys are asking way too much of Discreet Cat in this spot.

Maybe my memory isn't so good, and I usually don't debate these kinds of things, but Pleasantly Perfect? Medaglia D'oro? I don't think their records even come close. I just feel this horse is still under-rated.

Love too many here so all I want to say is leave the rest out at your own risk.....

Sentiment aside, Storm Mayor is very good.

Kandidate if the official forgotten horse.....

Not my pick or anything, but still..... don't be fooled into thinking this is a 2 horse race.

Oh and I'm not talking to anyone in particular so please don't get your feelings hurt.

You're right, it's a one horse race. INVASOR

Love In-Vah-Sooor to death and he'll probably win, but.....

You know who I hope fires.

Now shut up and let's never speak of it again.

Look at the bottom of my post from 2:10

I'm keeping an open mind.

Great points all around Jim and I'm probably more excited for this race than the past BCC. (Discreet Cat in my opinion is going into this more accomplished and proven than Bernardini) Go get 'em Invasor!

They still want to demostrate that their had the best horses to compite in America. But I belive that the Sleep Tiger will give them a surprice.

The Godolphin boys are asking way too much of Discreet Cat in this spot.

Oh I don't know about that. I'm not a big win bet guy, especially on favorites.
The only wagers I will have on that race are if they offer any kind of multiple race bets. I'm not sure if they will.

I do have a bit of a twinge knowing that he is racing without lasix again, on the track he lost on before, and against a horse that beat him before.

use him as what? the winner? a throw-out? fourth place?
I haven't seen actual PP's yet, in order to find out what you see in him.
It looks like he won on dirt recently a few times.

Since we go way back I will give him a good look.
