I'll bet against Sun King every time they load him up.

Strong Contender is a 3yr old with posibilities but with his staying power the flat mile is probably his distance.

Whether or not Silver Train should or shoudlnt have gotten taken down is a moot point when it comes to this argument. Hes a very good sprinter when they are at Belmont. Everywhere else he is allowance material. Lost in the Fog is a lot better at 6F. He was very poorly ridden in the BC Sprint. Not saying it cost him 1st but it did cost him a chance to be competitive.

There is no one even close to Lost in the Fog at 6F on a neutral track. Proud Tower Too is decent but lets face it, hes been beating a bunch of nothings out west and his times arent all that spectacular. The Dubai race is a weird race to use as a barometer, it proves very little. He wont win the BC Sprint.

I agree with you DTS. I'd like to see the two go head-to-head. Anyone know what Bling's plans are this year? Are they pointing him towards the BC?

Irish,
I'd love to see them head to head also....but that ain't gonna happen.
A 3yo against older? I don't think so.
I look for Too much Bling to show up at Toga in the King's Bishop.
Baffert picks his spots very carefully, that's why he's so good.
I'll let you know if I find one that's off the radar. There might just be one or two.
Olders...if they're not used up, look for LITF in the BC.
DTS
