I like Silver Train in that matchup. Check out the fractions he ran in the Met before you dismiss him so fast.

Silver Train is my favorite sprinter/miler in a long time.
I like any Dutrow horse, but especially this one.

unfortunatetly, it does not matter.
if Discreet Cat is sound enough for Godolphin to run him in a race, he is simply too damn fast to lose.

Silver Train has been nothing but impressive in his last 2 wins,
but DCat is on another planet.

If the Cigar Mile was at Belmont it would be a great matchup. ST is a nice horse away from BEL and a FREAK at BEL. The Cigar Mile is at the big A which has not been as kind to Train.

The horse that Discreet Cat defeated last time out in the allowance race was beaten today in the same allowance condition at Belmont Park.
I'm not so sure I'd say he would win by ten lengths, these are better than Contessa's horse that he beat last out.

As usual on the internet there is a substantial chasm between Discreet Cat's actual ability and his perceived ability.

I wonder if it's the anonymity factor.

no,
its the fact that he beat Invasor without being asked at all.
in fact, he has beaten every horse he has ever faced without being asked.
