CTC,
I think Sun King will probably be a great bet against in his next start if he runs against higher quality horses. He's never going to get it any easier than breaking from the rail, making an easy lead in a soft pace, in a race where his only major competitor lost lengths at the start, was wide, and was forced out of his typical style which should have put him on the lead.
I think we would have learned a lot more about how good Sun King was yesterday if High Limit broke well, made the lead, and Sun King was working to stay with him or if HL had at least broken well and the pace had been contentious right from the start. From all appearances, SK would have won anyway (HL was pretty bad), but I doubt he would have looked NEARLY as impressive. I'm probably going to try to beat him next time because IMO he's earning back his reputation off what was only a decent performance.
