Isn't Discreet Cat owned by his son and not him? I don't think Bernardini retiring after the BC has anything to do with DC.

That's like saying "would the Tigers be winning if they had Arod?"
Interesting argument but too many variables to come to a conclusion.

I think the two horses have more differences than similarities: Bernardini seems sound, but Discreet Cat has been characterized as the opposite by many on the internet. Bernardini is the son of a brilliant racehorse and sire expected to give the world the best; Discreet Cat is the son of an accomplished runner retired with soundness issues and still not an established sire. I believe Godolphin sees the two as quite different, at this point. Because Bernardini is a son of A.P. Indy and not Forestry, he could be too important to their breeding program. That will be the fans' loss and I hate it.

That's being racists.  And yes, it does make a difference, seeing how they all want to win races with their own horses and they have a friendly competitive spirit amongst themselves. Last edited by Kasept : 10-13-2006 at 06:27 AM.

The presence of Henny Hughes in the Sprint will most likely keep the top filly contender Dubai Escapade out of the lineup, according to her trainer, Eoin Harty. Harty said Dubai Escapade remains under consideration for both the Sprint and Distaff, although she could also start in Aqueduct's First Flight Handicap on Oct. 28. "Right now we're training her like she still might run in the Breeders' Cup, although I don't think she'll go a mile and one-eighth and I don't think she can beat Henny Hughes," said Harty. "She's also owned by the same team who have Henny Hughes, so unless something were to happen to him, it's probably doubtful she'll run in the Sprint." _________________________ The clearly aren't running their top horses against each other. Doesn't matter which family member name the horse technically runs under. It's all the same family.
