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.

I couldn't agree more. He looks really good up to 8F, but he isn't beating a good horse at anything past that.

Has he even beaten a pseudo G 1 field? Totally overrated horse.

Sadly ... I agree.

If you can't win a fake stakes race at 8.5f ... how are you going to win a G1 at 9f?

Nicky often has surprises up his sleeve ... but not this time.
