LOL, where are all those people saying Anew might be the best sprinter in the country off that loose-on-the-lead win over nothing on a speed-favoring track?

What effort by both Silver Train and War Front. Shame somebody had to lose. Glad I stayed away. That would have been a heartbreaker for me.

What an odd horse Silver Train is; he obviously has a lot of ability or else, no matter how much he loves Belmont, he wouldn't be winning these types of races. How to explain a horse that doesn't try on other surfaces? I can't.........Great effort by the Train - he dropped back, came on again, and I thought he was going to blow by. War Front was very game but I never thought the race was in doubt. Silver Train was always going to hold him off, IMO

I thought the race was very much in doubt when Silver Train didnt get by him by more than a half length. War Front came back on and I really thought at that moment he'd get the win but he didnt. A very tough loss but an awesome effort and training job by the Chief.

I am predicting right now War Front wins the BC Sprint.

Nice effort again by Silver Train to win another close one. Hes developing quite the resume.

Like I said before if you are going to pick one track to have an ffor, Belmont Park is the place to do it. Especially for sprinters. I bet you Dutrow lays this horse off until the Vosburgh.

That's exactly what Dutrow said he'll do.. Won't even run him at Saratoga. He's gonna wait for the Vosburgh. I don't blame him either.

I didnt know that but I figured he'd give him a long break while Belmont is closed. Only makes sense.

I bet War Front in the race, so it was tough to take, but I was more impressed with Silver Train in this race than few of his others. He looked beat when he dropped back off the pace on the turn and he looped and kept coming. Really impressive. Great race.

I liked War Front quite a bit Randall, and was tinkering up until the last 5 minutes whether or not to make the win bet. I wanted 9/2 but he looked so damn good on the track I nearly gave in and bet. Silver Train just scares me and I thought I'd let War Front go at 7/2 and maybe wait for next time.

Hooves, I didnt pay any attention to Voodoo. I have lost so much money on him that I have given up. Its nice to hear he looked like he has potential. I like his trainer.
