One of the greats. A.P. Indy always puts out runners. Great sire.
Sorry, but if you say Groundhog Day to me, I think of the 1993 Harold Ramis film titled the same, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, way before I think of the chubby rodent from somewhere in Pennsylvania. I like movies, what can I say. If you’ve never seen it, by all means rent it and hunker ...Read More

  • 12 Clip · Nice work Iron Maidens. Algorithms is a horse who caught my eye breaking his maiden at Belmont. I like the way he moves. There's no wasted energy. He loves the slop and the Bernardini's seem to keep getting better. The way this horse disposed of Hansen was rather impressive. I expected him to beat Hansen but not by five under wraps. Still, it's only January, and as I often say, "they might look good now, but are they gonna look good later."We'll see. Once again thanks for the breakdown. Peace. · 9 days ago ·

Discreet Cat impresses on both Coasts with Out of Bounds and Discreet Dancer!Read More

  • DeadHeat · Too early to tell that Brian. Out of Bounds looks like one that can handle more distance, and DD looked to have a lot more in the tank. Elusive Quality has sired some top horses at distances, just look at Raven's Pass and Smarty. QR also was grade one placed at 10f. He could go either way with Forestry, but I do believe that the UAE Derby is longer than a mile. 10f may have been to much for DC, but during his prime that speed could be carried a good ways. · 32 days ago ·

  • terri.zeitz · Check out the article in the Saratogan on Dec 7th, "Rising Stars: Discreet Dancer Dazzles in Debut", The article talks about his extremely talented and classy dam and her female family. His dam, West Side Dancer, is out of Gone West. The Gone West line has produced Excluswive Quality, Smarty Jones, Awesome Feather, and Quality Road. Tood Pletcher said Discreet D was not at all tired after a mile and can go the classic distances. Look at his dam's line to see that quality. Both he and Awesome Feather are on facebook. Pletcher has a Little Red monster in his barn. And you can only bet on him in futures, as he has 4 to 5 odds at the track in his first 2 races. · 27 days ago ·

He is the best current stallion, He's got some work to do if he is going to surpass his father.
I find it amazing the quality he is producing. I may be wrong but I can't remeber a young stallion like this.
