From Forbes.com: "44. That’s the number of races this five-year-old has run in, a throwback to a time when top-quality horses raced more than once every six or seven weeks. He and his trainer/owner got their first graded stakes win back in April in the Grade 3 Excelsior at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, then astonished a top-class field in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park in late September, winning by a neck at odds of nearly 46-1. St. Lewis runs a modest operation, training mostly his own horses out of Parx in Bensalem, PA, which is not among the top-tier Thoroughbred facilities. Working well outside of racing’s blue-blood establishment, this blue-collar horse and his blue-collar connections brings a big New York fan base to his most high-profile race."
Discreet Lover has made 44 starts at 11 tracks and holds a record of 7-7-7.
“He’ll be one of the fittest horses in the race because he ran so much,” said Uriah St. Lewis, who both owns and trains Discreet Lover. “He ran 44 times. I don’t even have to bring him to the paddock, because he went through the paddock 44 times. He doesn’t need more paddock training. He could go any place.”
