PA,
Sun King's style often makes him a bridesmaid. His races against Silver Train and Invasor were both sparkling efforts which would have netted him a win in one or both races in other years.
His last race was much better than it appeared. There was a strong, strong speed bias that day and his 3rd place effort, while seemingly mediocre, was better than that. he was the only horse in the race who made up any ground, period. He also had the right to be a tad bouncy off that huge Whitney.
I realize he only has two shots left, but I think one of those shots may be his shot, and many players have been quitely awaiting the opportunity off that last race to cash a ticket on him, or for him to at least split Invasor and Bernadini in the JCGC in the exacta.
