Both Barbaro and Giacomo got the absolute circumstances they needed in the race.
I bet on the latter and not the former. |

The owner has been bugging the trainer to "stretch him out" --- so the Carter and Met Mile may be possible for him. Those connections aren't affraid to ship East. |

Once maybe luck, heck even twice, but all three times! In the Classic they even had the same running style and were at similar positions at calls throughout the race, he just got outrun when the real running started. I know, Easy Goer was a much better horse then sunday silence, head to head races in the derby, preakness and breeders cup are throwouts. |

Sun King absolutely did NOT have the same running style as Giacomo in two of their three meetings.

Easy Goer made 11 starts at age 3....and won 6 Grade 1 races.
I don't think soundness issues had anything to do with SS beating him. He was a super horse, who wasn't quite able to crack the tactically gifted (and also great) Sunday Silence. I also believe EG was the more impressive of the two horses, it just wasn't apperant when they met up. |

You what's nice about Sun King? EVERY time you bring him up on any board it gets an extensive argument, usually involving DrugS, which is a lot more than can be said for most horses.
He's a pretty good horse....and he's still racing. |

He didn't look like an easy horse to ride....and certainly wasn't fond of the off-tracks at CD. |

Loved him in last year's Met Mile, just missing. I always thought SK was at a disadvantage going more than a mile & an sixteenth. I know isn't many grade I races sprinting during the summer, but if Zito wants his grade I with SK... a mile or less is the only way he's gonna get it.

Well, he had Commentator for the Forego and even though it obviously didn't work out he was even money and Sun King was still 2-1 30 minutes later in another Grade 1.
