Agree with you COMPLETELY about including run-up. But that just isn't the standard here across the board. Run-up is distinctly American, good or bad. I think all bad.

I think it's better to use the track timer -- but have Trakus in place to check for mistakes.

There are instances where a horse who finishes 2nd will have a slightly better final time than the winner.. because the trakus device is located in the saddle cloth and not on the tip of a horses nose.

I wonder what they paid for her?

She debuted great and has all the angles in the world going forward. If I was working for a syndicate like that - who wants to buy horses off of one race - I'd have been on the phone within 3 minutes after that race.

Nice headline. Sounds like he looked pretty damned good.

He got away with fairly soft fractions, and may not have beaten much, but was very impressive doing it. Or, basically the same thing I posted after his debut.

His task was made easier with the rating tactics used on One Sock Down. OSD is a speed sprinter -- not a mid-pack miler -- understandable that they tried to make him something that he's not today instead of duel with the superior Discreet Cat colt. OSD will improve on the cut-back and tactic switch.

Big day for Discreet Cat. Not just this nice Pletcher winner in Florida... but in So. Cal a son of his took the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita and looked really good finishing up. That one may not be quite as talented -- but that one will be well suited to 9fs and probably even further than that.

*DRFInside*Post Discreet Dancer missed scheduled work this a.m. due to slight temperature. May put planned Fountain of Youth start in jeopardy. #gulfstream
