Sun King is not great by any means, but he is a neat little guy and very competitive on his day. Also he is 5 now which makes him an abnormality to be still racing in the first place.

i'd say sun king is pretty close to great... he took it to invasor in the whitney just got beat all the excuses about invasors trip that day is kinda lame, i was there he had a fine trip, and sun king still almost got him. sun kings only problem is he always throws in a clunker, any race he can run huge or finish last, and at this point with him being 5 it might be too late for zito to fix.

also he lost to invasor, who is yet to lose in the country and who looks to be unbeatable and who is now a champion, and he lost to silver train who loves belmont and is also another champion, you cant take anything away from the way sun king ran in those 2 races

He is one of the best race horses in America when you throw them all in a bucket...but a long, long, long way from being great. He has 3 less grade 1s than Funny Cide after all.
