Wesley Ward's Strike the Tiger wins at 33-1

This story is pretty cool, but Shuback's final line in his DRF story is laughable:

"Given the humble beginnings of the California-bred Strike the Tiger, his Windsor Castle victory rates as one of the happiest surprises in the history of American racing."

His Eurocentricity is really out of hand.

"history of American racing"

see you have to see it from a Brit's point of view, to them we have little if no history.

What a stupid statement.

Shuback isn't a Brit, he's an American, for what its worth. Listen to some of his interviews on Steve's show.
