Silver Train wins the Sprint

A close finish with Silver Train on the inside winning over Taste of Paradise in the Sprint

In the $1 million TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint, 0.70-1 odds-on favorite and undefeated Lost in the Fog was proven to be beatable, as, after a bumpy start he was used up early and finished seventh. 11.90-1 longshot Silver Train settled in good position along the inside, angled out to launch his bid on the turn, and surged to the front inside the 1/8 pole, all out to hold off 12.50-1 shot Taste of Paradise in the final strides. The 6 furlong dash was completed in 1:08.86. Richard Dutrow Jr, training his first Breeders' Cup winner, said, "I knew if he was going to fire he was in excellent position to do it. He saved ground, lot of speed fighting it out up front, it was tailor made for him today. We got a perfect trip. Maybe one or two horses didn't fire, that's OK with us, we did."
