What's Sunriver going to do in another paceless race going against classier horses, not much. If he wasn't a full brother to Ashado and trained by Pletcher, he would never get this much attention. He's lucky to be a Graded Stakes Winner, the Peter Pan was an awful group.

Sunriver just won the Peter Pan, and had a very good Florida Derby. He was only a few lengths away from the eventual KD winner in that race. I am going to use him because I just can't pass up a nice, improving Pletcher horse.
