Sun King runs Today at Belmont

As for the Tom Fool, it does seem like a reasonable spot, but I think it's only $150K and Silver Train is supposed to go. So, he's fighting Silver Train for a winner's purse of $90K whereas even second money in the Whitney is $150K and third is $90K. So, from an equity standpoint, I would have to think the Whitney makes a lot of sense.

I also think Commentator is nominated for the Tom Fool though I have absolutely no idea whether or not he is pointing for it.

Well I tend to think there is something to Zito trying to beat Bellamy Road for obvious reasons in the Whitney. We will see.

Well, much as I would love to see him in the Whitney, I would doubt Bellamy Road is in it. That would be great.

Forgetting about Sun King, and while Premium Tap was obviously the other horse in the race, where the hell did he come up with THAT performance?

I had the $18 exacta so I am not complaining. I actually liked Premium Tap as I mentioned in the original post. I have never been a SK fan.

It was a good workout for SK. And he worked over the bettors that played him to win, lol. He was not all out today but it was a good prep.

I don't know, sure looked like he was beat by a better horse. Whitney horses don't prep in low budget stakes and lose.

i don't know the numbers but the met mile may have taken a lot out of SK.

Though SK was obviously not ready to fire his best, he's still overrated by many who think he can beat a true G1 field.
