Nearly 7-2!

Came home slowly, but saw a wicked pace, sat just up on it and did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Couldn't love this guy much more.

When you see a horse like Silver City go faster than is possible to finish, twice in a row in stakes route races, either the horse can't rate or the trainer/jockey is mishandling them. Same goes for Old Fashioned (even though he did it 3 times in a row and won one of them).

Hard to win a 7.5furlong race without rating(or with stupid handling) unless you really tower over the field. Especially off two quitting efforts.

Maybe they should send Silver City to Mary Hartman and see if she can stretch him out to 11 furlongs on the turf like she has done with Precious Passion.

You don't have to worry about traffic troubles with routers who head to the front and dare the others to run them down.

He's bred to handle two turns with ease....could be capable of anything.
