Next to Kotashaan, who outside of one race did all his winning at Santa Anita, Sunshine Forever would certainly be the choice in a race run at 12f.
I may have been fairly biased towards East Coast turf horses back then, but from what I recall, Sunshine Forever wasn't really beating much in the East.

But yeah, I take it back. I think he'd have handled GP.
