This is taken from Gaming Today, a weekly Las Vegas publication. The column is written by Ed Golden, who does the Stable Notes on the SoCal circuit:

"Discreet Cat came back to New York on Preakness Day (May 19)," said Godolphin assistant trainer Rick Mettee. "He's been jogging for a couple of weeks, and just last Tuesday (July 24) began to gallop. He's doing really well. He's sound and healthy now, but I don't think he'll make any races at Saratoga. We're probably looking at Belmont's fall meet."

Mettee said Godolphin's brain trust, which includes Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford, have pretty much ruled out another mile and a quarter race, the distance of the Dubai World Cup and the Breeders' Cup Classic. The new Breeders' Cup Mile on dirt would be more likely.

"I think they've moved away from a mile and a quarter, so they'd be considering any distance from six furlongs to a mile," Mettee said. "But basically, we just want to get him back to the races. Hopefully, he's healed fine and we can get him up to a fast-speed workout. He was pretty sick in Dubai. They were calling specialists from all over the world, because they had never seen anything like what he had in a thoroughbred."

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay here. For those who don't know, DiscreetCat is one of the most knowledgable horse racing posters on the web.

I look forward to your posts and to Discreet Cat's return to the races.

Side note: For any of you who may be wondering, I have no relation to the So Cal horse writer Ed Golden, even though we share both the same first and last names.
