The horse has earned about 2 million bucks. Although he lacks speed and at times consistency, hes always been a threat when racing at the very highest level.
I suggest you stick to computers, because you don't know a damn thing about horses.

That about sums it up. Sun King tries his heart out every time and is having one hell of a year, if he would have had a little better racing luck he would have been a dual G1 winner in two of the most important races of the year and would be a live contender for horse of the year. If Zito is smart, he'll give him some time off and get him ready for the Classic with an easy prep.
It also appeared to me that Julien used him a little early before the final turn, Rafael may have been the difference in this race. But, considering how the track was on Saturday he still ran a great race and should be commended for how game he is no matter who he's facing. Love the guts and heart of this horse.
