I note with interest that the 3 finalists for Eclipse Award Sprinter are Lost in the Fog, the deceased Saratoga County and BC Sprint winner Silver Train.

Of those three, I would say that Silver Train would get my vote based on his BC Sprint victory and LITF's non- effort in that same race.

Taste of Paradise may be as qualified as any of the 3 finalists off of his GI win in the 6 furlong Vosburgh and hard luck near miss in the BC Sprint.

I think it would be unfortunate to name LITF the years top sprinter. His top performances were against some fairly anonymous 3YOs. The award is given to top sprinter, not top 3YO sprinter.

In an unrelated matter, does any jock have worse luck than Joe Bravo (fractured 2 vertebrae opening day at the Gulf)?
