The thing about last year's BCC-
Well... I go both ways on how much of an excuse he had last year, because this horse does hang, and he seems to have the eternal case of 2nd-itis. But with that being said, HE WAS BLOCKED FOR LITERALLY HALF OF THE STRETCH LAST YEAR IN THE BCC. Once he was finally able to uncork his run, he got up for 3rd. I'm not saying he beats 'Liam, but if he had a clean ride and the whole stretch to uncork it, the race woulda been a lot closer.

But there's always something with him that makes him fall short. He is a classic hanger. But if he really comes with a run, he's gonna give Invasor, Bernardini, Lava Man, whoever all they can handle... and with that being said- put a show bet on him in the BCC lol.

Beyond my betting interests, I'm rooting for him all the way to win the BCC. He's such a gamer. That, and I'm not ready to say he's "over the hill", like Funny Cide is. If he gets his ass whooped in the 'Classic, then I'll concede. But until then, I'm keepin the faith he's got some good racing left in him.

HE DOESN'T BELONG IN THE CLASSIC? WHAT ROPE ARE YOU SMOKING?

The horse runs against the top horses all over the country and shows up 99%of the time and runs his heart out. And you don't think he belongs?

Does Sun King belong? He finishes second a lot. But because he hasn't won should we keep him out of the race?

I meant in his (Sun King) last few races because after his nose loss to Invasor, everyone was dubbing him the second coming of Perfect Drift. I was just talking because it makes me mad that so many diss Perfect Drift. I can handle the doubters, but to say he doesn't belong in the race is crazy. He will show up. Will he win? I hope so and I will always have faith in him. He may not win, but he will finish in the $$$. He deserves to run anywhere he wants to run. He can run with the best of them.

Oh and by the way, I like Sun King too.

The more the merrier in my opinion.

What is the limit on starters and how do they draw he gets in and who stays out?

I thought it was based on a point system. And aren't there 14 starters allowed?

By the way, I can't wait to cheer for Perfect Drift when he wins the BCC.
