That Bluegrass was a good race. The finishing positions in the Derby for High Limit and Bandini have nothing to do with the quality of their previous race. The Derby was a meltdown for them. The issue is why? Bandini has bounce and washout to explain it.

For Frankel its perplexing. Maybe he didn't like the track or got hurt. who knows.

Sun king finished even with Closing A. who almost won the Derby. Closing prolly needed a race in the bluegrass and was down inside early where it wasnt good.

Sun King just hasn't looked effective in any race at two turns now and sometimes you gotta read the writing on the wall.
