I think that Discreet Cat is the only horse in the U.S. that could stand a chance against Bernardini. I really love both of these horses, and don't know which one is the better of the two. With that being said, as fragile at DC is, I think it would not be a wise choice to run him in the Classic this year. I would much rather see him in the sprint. I think that they should save DC for the Classic division next year. I just don't think he is going to be ready to go 1 1/4 after two races at a mile or less. I would have rather seen him have a 1 1/8 mile race instead of the Jerome. It would make me feel a little better if they do run him in the Classic. As fragile as he is, running him in the Classic may be just a step too far. I want to see this horse around for awhile. I really don't think he will have a problem going the 1 1/4 miles though.
I just got the sad news about Electrocutionist because I have been a horse show all weekend. That is so sad. We've all taken a hard hit this year with deaths and injuries. I really loved this horse. He was a good one. May he rest in peace.
