Discreet Cat is a really promising young horse, but after assessing the situation, Sheik Mohammed has decided that he would prefer to give him more time. We see him as an important horse for Godolphin both later in the season and next year. |
First and foremost we need to talk to Sheikh Mohammed and see if he wants to supplement anything for the St Leger, |
He ran well but he wasn't good enough today. He will be a nice horse next season but I wouldn't think he will be going for the Leger. The decision will be up to Sheikh Mohammed but there weren't any excuses today. |
He won really well last time but it was a bicycle race in the soft. We didn't learn a lot. If he wins well, we might consider the St Leger. |
He won't actually be three until May so we can give him time to develop. |
He won't actually be three until May so we want to give him time to develop. Although we have no specific targets in mind for him at the moment, Discreet Cat will not be running in any of the Triple Crown races. |
He's a lovely colt. He hasn't worked yet. Hopefully, he'll be out in the middle of the summer. |
I think we will be recommending to Sheikh Mohammed that she stays in trainer next year because there is potential for more improvement from her. |
If he looks like he'd have a top chance in the Kentucky Derby, we'd like to take a chance. One day we'll have a horse that is suitable. |
It may be that we'll have to change plans now. This horse is going to experience something he's never experienced before. |
It will take a special horse to win from there. It was always going to be difficult. Now it will be much more difficult. |
It's way, way too early to start talking about the Kentucky Derby. We have to watch him on Saturday night and we'll go from there. |
Normally we'd think between 10 and 12 Group Ones in a year was pretty good. Group One victories are basically how we judge ourselves, as winning the best race is what we are about. |
She had a lot of little problems in the winter and then more in the spring, |
