Default Discreetly Mine injured, out of Cup
The Breeders' Cup Sprint lost yet another top contender when trainer Todd Pletcher revealed Discreetly Mine will miss the race because of an injury to his left stifle. Division leader Majesticperfection was the first major defection from the race when retired because of injury late this summer.

Pletcher said it took several days to diagnose the exact nature of Discreetly Mine's problem but received the bad news from Dr. Larry Bramlage on Wednesday.

Wow. Is there a single horse running now that actually deserves to be the BC Sprint winner?

I had him at 15-1 in the future book. This really sucks.

Well that race just went from a Race 9(1 horse in P4 and P6) stone cold pick at 2-1 to who the hell knows? Could be a great betting race

Too bad for him tho

Probably the one who actually wins the race... you do not deserve it if you fail to start.

I don't recall the Sprint division ever being as thin as it is this year, especially now with the injuries.

This will make a usual wide open race even more wide open.

You really should be charging for this kind of wisdom.

He sucks, but everyone was giving this race to Discreetly Mine. Something seems really wrong with this?

When did I say he sucked? I was responding to you saying the Warrior sucks? How did DM finish up in the Bishop? I was soooo excited to bet against him in the Sprint, so this SUCKS FOR ME.

I'm still holding out for Rail Trip. I'll even settle for A Little Warm.

The BC Dirt Mile really blows.

Should have been removed as soon as Furthest Land hit the wire first last year.

Just saw that Musket Man was entered in the Monmouth Cup. I thought he was sick or something.

He'd do as well.

A Little Warm actually makes a lot of sense for the Sprint. He's run well going short and his trainer is 32% the last five years going route to sprint with an ROI of $2.32. I wonder if McGlaughlin will take a shot with Bank Merger. He ran well against the grain in the Kings Bishop and is pretty talented.

I know I'll probably get laughed at, but I think Lukas should send Hamazing Destiny to the race...I know JerseyJ will like that. He's run really well at Churchill and on his best day has run as fast as most of these horses.

that and the F & M Sprint race have also thinned out the quality sprint entries.

Man, I'm pathetic. I've never heard of Bank Merger or Hamazing Destiny.

I'm nothing without the National Charts Weekly. Does the DRF still make those?
