As for the disparagement of Premium Tap's chances, once again, we differ. Here is a Grade I winner, with a run all day pedigree, that figures a perfect trip. Anyone who says he is a need the lead type, did not see his last, and more than a few previous performances. His connections are investing $150K to run and granted Prado's request to ride. His last work was oustanding, outworking about a dozen other cup hopefuls at the same distance.
Differences of opinion between handicappers are ubiquitous however, and races are run on the track, not on websites. Nevertheless, Sun King is being asked to do something he has never done and is not bred to do; while Premium Tap, without serious trouble in his last would be entering off a dominating performance. Your call. * One race was 1 3/16's. BBB

And less we forget, hasn't Premium Tap finished ahead of Sun King twice this year already?
