Tiger v Silver Train

Right now I would take Tiger in the Forego. Should be an interesting race up there. The Vosburgh though at BP should give ST a shot. A horse to watch out for in the Forego is Rumspringa.

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.
