Time Is Now For Darley's Dominance In States - by Joel Cunningham

Are you two wagering that Discreet Cat or Corinthian WINS or that Discreet Cat finishes in front of Corinthian or vice versa? I could wager that neither one will win, how is that for you?

A side wager is usually just between which horses finishes first, but I am a big enough believer in Discreet Cat that I'm willing to wager on his nose...although I don't think he'll need his nose....the Dwyer will be measured in full lengths if he is running in it..

I'm always up for a challenge and some fun...

For reference, let me just say that Discreet Cat was my derby horse until they decided not to run him. I then switched to Barbaro (who turned out to be an ok choice. )

Horses are horses though, and there is a slight chance that DC may not run his race in the Dwyer. I think he is by far the best horse in that race, but the best horse doesn't always win (as we all know.)

So, what's the bet, Jessica?

Yes, but Corinthian had been improving tremendously with every race when he was injured in the FOY. That horse looks like the real deal as well. Just for the record, I really like Discreet Cat, but it is horse racing, and if Corinthian keeps improving...well. What makes the Dwyer interesting is that they will both be coming off of considerable layoffs, and the fact that Discreet Cat last raced in Dubai. Is Bernardini running in this race too?

No, Bernardini is pointing towards the Travers (with maybe a prep in the Jim Dandy), and Discreet Cat is pointing for the Haskell Invitational and WILL prep in the Dwyer....obviously, the Travers and Haskell are on the same weekend and Darley clearly wants to keep these two apart until the BC on Nov. 4th @ CD..

I missed the deadline for tickets to make it to the BC @ Churchill this year. Plus, it is during the school year, and I just couldn't miss any of my classes or work at the college. I just love Churchill Downs. It took me in awe the first time I went there, and I can't wait to go back. However, I must say that it is in a pretty wierd location although the actual track is breathtaking and stunning. If there was a heaven on Earth, for me, it would be under those twin spires watching beautiful Thoroughbreds.

It looks like the entire family is taking over american racing. Jazil did the brother proud today.
