Silver Train is only the best sprinter at Belmont. Anyplace else and he is average at best.

Now as far as coming up with the race where the best can meet--boy that would be good for racing for about all of 2 minutes. This is why I hate the Breeders Cup. Owners and trainers only point to this one day and we are left cold the rest of the year.
