It would have been a 2 horse race no doubt, both were apparently training well for their 09 debuts. Fatal Bullet is apparently a better 3 yr old than he was at 4 according to his trainer, where have I heard that before...? But he backed it up today, impressive. we know what he would have done if not for Midnight Lute last yr.
Not Bourban is a sneaky horse to watch this year IMO if we are to look ahead to the BC at SA. It's logical to assume he is also better at 4 than he was at 3, I know he's no worse than Rebellion with a much bigger upside so it will be interesting to see how he progresses this year.
