Lot's to like about this horse. Very lucky at the draw as post 3 is one of the winningest in Derby history. Prado has the experience and in my opinion is the best rider out there. He's due. Horse also got down to a zero BEFORE Afleet Alex and the latter is still a 2yo. Chances are good that Sun king is circling back to his top and he's never been out of the superfecta.
While I think Afleet Alex is the best horse, Sun King is more likely to move forward and will save more ground than Afleet Alex whereas AA faces ground loss, the possiblity of a bounce, inexperienced jockey and underlayed odds.
I'm gonna take the stand that only 2 horses can beat Sun King and if they don't fire, I'll collect 9-1 odds (or better?) to win.
