Cat Purring Ahead Of Breeders' Showdown Discreet Cat limbered up for his crack at the inaugural Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on Friday with a sparkling piece of work at Belmont Park.The Godolphin colt lost his unbeaten record in the Dubai World Cup in March and has had only one race since, when third in the Vosburgh at Belmont last month.But the signs look promising for a return to form at Monmouth Park as he went five furlongs in a bullet :57.46 under big-race jockey Garrett Gomez.'His work this morning was fast, and probably a little faster than we expected, but we are taking it as a positive sign,' Rick Mettee, assistant to trainer Saeed bin Suroor, told www.nyra.com.'The track was extraordinarily fast, from what I gather from talking to the clockers, and he was well within himself.'When horses are that good, they will sometimes work fast. We're looking at this as a sign that he is ready and he still wants to run.'(C) PA Sport
