[edit] Dubai World Cup
On March 31st, Discrett Cat ran in the Dubai World Cup against U.S. Horse of the Year Invasor. Unfortunately he suffered his first career lost in seven starts. Invasor would go on to win the race while Discreet Cat finished last in a field of seven. He was ridden once again by Frankie Dettori, who rode him to victory in the UAE Derby. Discreet Cat was expected to make a major impact on the race, but was not even a treat throughout the race.
