Title: Sprint Division
Post by: richiebee on July 18, 2006, 11:09:50 PM
Lost in the Fog--I\'ve shown him the proper respect even though I thought he was an undeserving Eclipse winner last year. Bottom line-- two races against proven competition, two convincing losses. Would like to see him try turf before he retires.

Silver Train--obviously a Belmont freak, much like Ghostzapper. My question is: If he wins one or both of the Vanderbilt at the Spa or the Vosburgh at Belmont,  can he be Eclipse Award winning sprinter without contesting the BC Sprint at Churchill?

War Front-- extremely game for the Chief off a 5 month layoff. Dueled with and disposed of Anew, then battled gamely with Silver Train to the wire. Probably an equal chance that he will do some damage this Summer or drop out of sight for another half year.

Nightmare Affair-- 8 of 10 lifetime wins at Calder. Can he be considered near the top of this division without expanding his theater of operation?
