Discreet Cat may be first choice for Cup

by Tony Elves

UAE Discreet Cat could emerge as the most likely contender from Godolphin for the Group 1 Dubai World Cup at Nad Al Sheba on March 31.

The Forestry colt is unbeaten in six starts and, after winning a conditions event over 1m at Nad Al Sheba last March, went on to capture the 1m1f UAE Derby on World Cup night, when the richest race in the world was won by trainer Saeed Bin Suroor for a fifth time with Electrocutionist.

Discreet Cat was campaigned back in the US for his final three races of 2006, but showed his ability to compete at the highest level when landing the Grade 1 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct in November by three and a quarter lengths from Badge Of Silver. Simon Crisford, racing manager to Godolphin, said: “Discreet Cat has been put in the Dubai World Cup, and has been put in the Sprint and Mile as well.

“We have got to see how he is over the next month before we begin to formulate any plans. He’s just got in from America and is settling back into his routine here at the moment.

“Discreet Cat is the only provendirt horse we have in the race – the others are all turf horses who will also have entries in races such as the Sheema Classic.”

Other news.....

Ace was a good third. Hooray!!!


Satish Seemar suffered double heartache in the two big races at Abu Dhabi on Sunday, after finding just one too good in both National Day Cup races.

The master of Zabeel saddled National Captain and Ace to finish second and third behind King Jock in the Listed race for thoroughbreds. And earlier, Velte ran a great race on his seasonal bow to finish second in the Group One equivalent for Purebred Arabians.

"The horses ran very well, and obviously went close to repeating last year, when we won both races," said Seemar.

"I think Ace may have found this mile trip a bit sharp as he looks more of a 10-furlong horse, and also this was probably the sharpest track he's ever run on in his life.

"We may look to run him in the carnival on January 25, or before in the Jebel Ali Stakes [on December 22].
