DISCREET CAT! WOW!!!!!!!!!

There is a direct tie to our "Y" here. Please read on. Occasionally you see a horse that causes you to sit up and take notice. With the internet this is now instananeous, and all the races of the weekend will soon be posted on the video archive section of the NTRA website.

The horse this weekend was DISCREET CAT, which I'm placing in caps because it has been since Easy Goer, Sunday Silence and Alysheba that I have seen such a talented animal. Never mind that Discreet Cat is owned by Sheik Mohammed Rashid Bin Al Maktoum and was purchased by the Sheik for seven figures plus from Americans Joyce Robsham and midling trainer Stanley Hough last year as a two year old. This weekend's performance in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct with Discreet Cat tying Easygoer's mile track record under a hand ride was impressive enough. To watch the horse run is something special again.

Now, please tell me how sorry I am that Discreet Cat, the new wonder horse, is out of a mare named Pretty Discreet by PRIVATE ACCOUNT. Please put together the capital letters to see the tie to our $2,600.00 yearling: Discreet Cat Pedigree: Forestry by STORM CAT and out off Pretty Discreet by PRIVATE ACCOUNT. Y Pedigree: Vision and Verse by STORM CAT who is out of the mare Bunting by PRIVATE ACCOUNT.

Can we say the Storm Cat-Private Account nick is alive and well in the form of Discreet Cat, the best horse to come down the pike in the last few years, and also in our yearling Y. LOL. Now, if i can just get the young fellow to run like Discreet Cat...

Discreet Cat's Cigar Mile victory will be archived in the NTRA Video Archives sometime next week.

Sat. 11/26: a rest day for Y and well deserved.
