Lets think about this for a moment, Silver Train barely beats Sun King and Sun King comes back and loses. Maybe the Met Mile wasnt a very good race. Silver Train is an good horse at Belmont, anywhere else he is sub-par.

Sun King's loss came in a 4 horse field with no pace and where the winner ran a hole in the wind, in addition Sun King was set for a regression off a lifetime top effort on the numbers. Oh wait, there I go using logic and common sense instead of emotion or how I feel about a horse or his connections to analyze a situation. Wrong place.
