If it's true what the trainer said about him being a couple of works short of ready for his best, this is scary. This is the best horse currently running in America. It wasn't who he beat, which wasn't much, but it was how he did it. I've seen riders ask for more in workouts. He was standing up, looking under his legs and over his shoulders to see what was back there. Under a long reign, he was still drawing off and running fast. That was ridiculous. Looks like the track might be a little on the quick side but still, 1:21.53 is fast. Final 8th was in 12.15. These numbers don't mean much if u didn't see how easy it was. Baedecker (sp) is on TVG now mentioning the names Secretariat and Seattle Slew. This is crazy.

The most impressive part ...
... was the final furlong in :12.1 ... effortlessly. If he can carry that speed around two turns against quality opposition ... and his bloodlines say he should ... there's no limit to his potential.

... Pleasant Colony, Damascus, Dr. Fager, Buckpasser, Private Account, In Reality, Tom Rolfe ... ... some of them could run pretty well around two turns. P.S. Not to mention Northern Dancer ... Sword Dancer ... and Secretariat.

Good time to remember this quote from Invasor's trainer after the Suburban:
"He was most impressive," McLaughlin said of Invasor's performance on Saturday. "I was impressed last time and surprised, but today I was even more impressed. He's the real deal. I don't know how I got him beat, but maybe I should say we don't want to see Discreet Cat anywhere."

Best horse is running tomorrow - it will be fun to see. However, Secretariat and Slew? They need to calm down - neither colt is anywhere close to that yet.

Go to the "Charles Hatton Reading Room" and read my anecdote about him ... you'll be amazed. And Seattle Slew ... like Ruffian ... was considered to be a wonder horse ... or potentially one ... right after his first start. And ... of course ... I spotted Bernardini's abundant talent while watching him break his maiden. You surely remember that from the "other" forum.

Oh man! If only those two horses were facing off tomorrow in the Travers, that would be the race of the year, man how good are Bernardini and Discreet Cat, the great thing about the Sheiks owning them instead of those greedy Coolmore guys, is they actually LOVE to race their horses, it could be a great rivalry next year as well!!!!!
