true, in dubai though.. things have changed since. If I remember, Invasor was carrying more weight. No doubt, DC is good horse but not in this competition not this year. Godolphin knows it.

Are you people on crack? Discreet cat is the best horse in the WORLD! Hes won all over it. The arabs have already admitted that they dont want him to race against bernardini because it will cost him horse of the year.

Everyone needs to stop drinking the Discreet Cat KoolAid.....He was getting like 10lbs in that race in Dubai and while he has won his two races here, WHAT HAS HE FACED. if he goes in the Sprint, he will get DUSTED. From what I have heard on here and other places, he is a hard horse to keep sound also

Wow, dusted? Did you see him race at Saratoga in that allowance the day before Henney Hughes in the Kings bishop. Correct me if im wrong but the cat ran 121 1/5 for 7 and Henney 122 4/5. You think the track was that much slower the next day. I think the time difference adds up to about a 10 length differece. My facts may be off but I saw both those races live! A little tipsy but live.

Yes, not only can the track change by day, but BY RACE. It is how they did it. Henny also came back from that and dusted older sprinters, while getting pace pressure.

Throw in the fact that DC hasnt been taken to the whip in his US races and its astonishing how fast his final times are..

Through six furlongs Henny Hughes time was actually faster.

Godolphin knows it? Has Godolphin or any of the connections said something to this effect, or are you just drawing that conclusion because they have decided to not race him?
