Sun King

Sun King's finest race was when he closed from out of the clouds and nailed Kazoo on the line. It was last spring at Keeneland I believe. It was awesome to watch.

That was his best race by far...after that victory, Zito should have kept him sprinting.
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.

I kinda blame the jockey on several of those races, he broke horribly in the Met Mile with Bejarano who has a reputation of doing that. He's just had bad luck. Great horse and I'm glad there are still Tracy Farmer's out there to keep the great horses running.

great horse? what makes him great?

you know who was a great horse, saint liam. to make it through dutrow's program for 2 straight years is one heck of an achievement, unparalled really.

You know, he may not be the fastest horse in the world, but he sure gives you everything he has and that's what makes him a great race horse. Gets that from his dad.

Sun King is not great by any means, but he is a neat little guy and very competitive on his day. Also he is 5 now which makes him an abnormality to be still racing in the first place.

i'd say sun king is pretty close to great... he took it to invasor in the whitney just got beat all the excuses about invasors trip that day is kinda lame, i was there he had a fine trip, and sun king still almost got him. sun kings only problem is he always throws in a clunker, any race he can run huge or finish last, and at this point with him being 5 it might be too late for zito to fix.
