Premium Tap is in Saudi Arabia. He's NOT COMING BACK. He's GONE!
(sorry to yell but I get asked about him every 3 days!)

I'd like to see Sun King back. Papi appears to have hurt himself. AP Arrow is in the Hollywood Gold Cup. Todd is flipping him and Fairbanks.
It sure does seem like there should be a few more top class older horses for this. I know Invasor might have scared some off, but geez, take a shot and nominate. It seems odd that Political Force and Corinthian are all we can muster for the historic Suburban. This is what happens when 3yo's are retired. Horses like Bluegrass Cat, Bernardini, etc could (arguably) have been even better this year and made the "older horse" division more fun. Next year wont be much better. SS and HS are done this year and Rags will stay w/fillies. Maybe they will keep Curlin going.

Don't even get me going on the Ma Goose. From the Acorn, only Boca Grande comes back. There were 14 in the Oaks and only 1 shows up here. No Cotton Blossom, no Christmas Kid, no ...no fun...
