Hes a great trainer.
I'm not saying his race wasn't very good because it was. But I thought he had an ideal scenario behind some duelers whose quality I question and simply wanna see him do it again before becoming a believer that he will succeed at the highest level.
Yes, I can agree with that (And I know that you know this stuff. It's just that some that read this stuff aren't as knowledgable and I don't want to lose anyone because a lot of people read these posts besides those in the know). He did get an ideal setup, and I also question the quality of those horses. But, he is going to be the kind of horse that puts himself in a position to win (whether he does or not) in every race because he has an ideal running style. I will say that there is a 99% chance that the horse will win by open lenghts in his next start, even if he steps up in competition a little bit. I just see something in Nobiz like Shobiz. I think it is the fact that he is very mature looking despite his age. He looked a lot more mature than the horses that he was racing against in that field.

I was serious about Sun King, assuming he runs. He's improving, and if they can ever figure out if he's a closing sprinter or a miler or whatever, he'll be in a good spot no matter where they place him. Aside from that race very early in the year, he's been well placed throughout 06.
