He was totally awesome. He couldn't have been any more impressive. He was never asked at any point in the race.
I think they were very smart to bring him back in this spot. It was an easy race for him and a race that he will be able to build off of. I think it is always better to give a horse an easy race for their first race back. You don't want them to do more than they're ready to do. When you ask them to do more than they're ready to do, that's when they get hurt.

If it's true what the trainer said about him being a couple of works short of ready for his best, this is scary. This is the best horse currently running in America. It wasn't who he beat, which wasn't much, but it was how he did it. I've seen riders ask for more in workouts. He was standing up, looking under his legs and over his shoulders to see what was back there. Under a long reign, he was still drawing off and running fast. That was ridiculous. Looks like the track might be a little on the quick side but still, 1:21.53 is fast. Final 8th was in 12.15. These numbers don't mean much if u didn't see how easy it was. Baedecker (sp) is on TVG now mentioning the names Secretariat and Seattle Slew. This is crazy.

The most impressive part ...
... was the final furlong in :12.1 ... effortlessly. If he can carry that speed around two turns against quality opposition ... and his bloodlines say he should ... there's no limit to his potential.

Good time to remember this quote from Invasor's trainer after the Suburban:
"He was most impressive," McLaughlin said of Invasor's performance on Saturday. "I was impressed last time and surprised, but today I was even more impressed. He's the real deal. I don't know how I got him beat, but maybe I should say we don't want to see Discreet Cat anywhere."
