Tiger v Silver Train

Dutrow has already said that Silver Train will not be running at saratoga this year, so forget it. lst year when he ran he cut himself up quite badly in his third place in the Amsterdam. he kept hitting his front legs with his rear shoes and was cut up badly. He has a very unique and strange action, and Belmont appears to be where he runs his best.

Smart move because nobody is beating Tiger right now. I don't think he was kidding about the Suburban.

Nobody except Anew who crushed him like a grape two starts back and humiliated him.

Anew is a former 14 claimer, and he destroyed Tiger and left him gasping. I think before you compare a horse like Tiger to ST, that he has to beat the reformed cheapskate claimer in a rematch in the True North. By the way, ST has now won two grade ones. How many does Tiger have? GOOSE EGG!

Tiger was off for two years, yes 2 yrs, and that was his second race back. His numbers in his last two have stamped him as the top sprinter in the country right now and he will only get stronger. ST is a fast horse at Belmont, where I suspect somebody is allowing he to race with a little help.

Someone here called me on my statement and backed it up with both data and facts. so I will resort to accusing Dutrow of cheating, because I don't have an answer.
If you asked soemone about who Silver train was they would say "OH hes the horse who won the BC Sprint and Met Mile!!!" If you asked someone about Tiger you woud get "Isnt he that damn horse who went off favored a while ago and got destroyed by the 14 claimer?"

I didn't say Dutrow was cheating but that horse seems to get faster on that track. Maybe he just likes it or somebody helps set up the track a certain way for him. ST is a nice horse but like Brother Derek he is a one track pony. Let's see how he does outside Belmont where he won his two big races. I guess we have already seen that. His Gulfstream efforts have been atrocious. Just awful. Let's see him at Churchill this fall. I know the son of Storm Boot will be there. He has put up fast times on more than one track.
