Acid test for Anew

Has Silver Train ever run well anywhere else?

It is Tiger, not Tigger. The "overhyped" horse you are talking about has run two extremely fast races. Anew just happens to be an incredible horse.

Anew is something else, huh? I always root for former claimers, because I consider myself to be a claimer as far as life goes. A hard knocker, honest game old campaigner.

I dont think Tiger is half the horse Anew is or even remotely close to being considered a top sprinter off those 2 dream trips he had. This coming from a huge Jerken's fan. Silver Train is a much better horse and will at least make a race of it. That race Tiger threw in last time was an utter mess.

Tim I really don't understand how you view races. Mess? he ran 2nd to a very nice horse. I just don't see that as a mess in any way.
