I think Discreet Cat is fragile. I cant see them running him in the Classic off a 7F and then an 8F race. The Cigar Mile and the Dubai race are clearly their target. I doubt the Classic means that much to them. Bernardini is going to be retired at the end of the year. He is going to be their sire that puts them in the KY Derby picture for the next decade. A Classic win for him would mean more.

The Sheik treats all his horses like that if you know there background in there country the horses get to eat before the humans do. So pressing them too soon they have nothing to gain they are not money hungery like most private US owners. Discreet Cat is probally worth 7 - 10 mill I would give him all the time in the world. 1 tick off the track record in hand, 1 start off the layoff he is just a monster and you know when godolphin brings him to the paddock he is ready to run
