he's definately turning into a Perfect Drift type, however for the connections, a lot of money to be made for 2nd places in grade 1's.

Sun King gave the winner more that what he wanted to see. The winner is a 10f horse and he should be glad todays race was 9f, because Sun King was all over him.

I didn't say that he isn't an excellent horse. He just seems to have a case of seconditis as does Perfect Drift. Nothing wrong with that..

While I admit to shortchanging Sun King for most of the year, all I'm saying is there is money to be made by backwheeling him in the 2 & 3 spots. Drift wins an occasional race himself and I love that horse, but the smart play is underneath.
