We need to see what the figures look like but the thing with Sun King is he really needed to get more out of the race than say Consolidator. The Tampa race was a gallop and then he comes into this prep needing to get a little something out of it.
Noble Causeway has the right guy because he is still learning. Why do you think Pat Day was up on him the day he won his 1X. Which by the way how many Derby winners have there been who have never won a Stakes or anything more than a 1X?
When Afleet Alex is up the track on Derby Day it will not be because of Jeremy Rose.
The Bandini bunch scored big on Saturday. They spent $60 Million to purchase the sire and now have a Blue Grass Stakes winner to shuttle around also.
Suffice it to say that Tabor and Co. are NOW OUT on FuPeg.
One day people will be asking Arthur Hancock, "And now explain why you gave this horse away for $4.5 Million"?
