I'd keep him on the dirt in races at a mile and under... He's becoming one of the top older sprinters in the country right now.. I don't know if I'd want to experiment with the turf at this point.. but what do I know?

Hey if it ain't broke don't try and fix it. They have obviously found his strength. Its one turn races. Now at Belmont thats easy enough. Makes it tricky at Saratoga though. Perhaps the Forego up there.

Blocky glad you could make it over.
But Blocky the Met Mile has no dual qualifying system. If you are referring to the outdated Dr Roman system that used to have high success in the Derby, Wilko also fit that mode and he failed to hit the board. Its meaningless voo doo.

Any horse that closes like he did at KEE is live. Speaking of closing, when did Sun King turn into a closer anyway? Isn't this the same horse that needed the lead as a 3YO?

7f to 1 turn miles for this guy, remember when he made his 3yo debut last year, 1 turn mile. The reason he was such a good price is because the Beyer was low at KEE, I used him in the 2nd spot of my tri, very happy with his run and not to mention Silver Train. My dad called me yesterday and told me he wanted to play a ex, he said he wanted to use Sun King and either Banidini or Silver Train, I told him what Oracle put up about Silver Train and told him to toss Bandini, he pounded it. He thanks you Oracle.
