No wonder Discreet Cat is not going in the Classic. I used to think that the sheikhs were these really sporting people but stuff like this makes me change my mind. If this is true, it really sucks. I guess it doesn't surprise me though. I honestly never expected him to continue on. He's not the first high profile 3yo that they would not have run at four. If they retired the great Lammatarra, who was better than Bernardini, they would retire this one too.

I'm not surprised in the slightest bit...
I hope for their sake that he wins the BCC. I won't be holding my breath on that one, though...

They are the enemies of racing.
This is just further confirmation. Only the breeders can defend them because they have made them staggeringly wealthy. Pretty lame....makes me root against this horse and every horse they have. |

If true, this is terribly disappointing. Forget all of the talk about how great he may be, without racing again, Bernie comes up short of any all - time lists.

Why in the world is it worthy of your enmity that they move the colt to stud? It's their horse, not yours, and if they feel it's right to retire him, so be it. Criticize the decision all you want rationally, but why not leave the anti-Arab thing alone for a while? |

If he wins big in the BC Classic ... all we can say is that he had a great 3YO campaign. No starts as a 2YO ... and no starts as a 4YO. Even people who have billions of stolen dollars have no sense of sportsmanship any more. Kinda figures though ... no human decency ... no sportsmanship either. |

You say, "No human decency..." Yeah right, Your problem is that the Arabs are actually doing well in the sport you love. You hate so much, you can't stand their success. Last edited by Kasept : 10-12-2006 at 05:00 PM. |

Enough...
Ajourned...
This conversation took a strange and unpleasant turn... and there's no reason for it to continue publicly. I'd prefer that socio-political fisticuffs either not take place at all or take place in Off Topic or EsoCent or Privately. It takes away from the focus of what we all love and why we're here.. Hope everyone got in what they needed to say... Steve
