When he ran second to In Excess in the Suburban, which off the top of my head he lost by four lengths, he probably did run about as well as Sultry Song did in his better efforts so your original point is actually legit. However, as you said, Chief Honcho never really got it done. Unless Mike Smith tagged him over 30 times.
I liked Sultry Song. Maybe it's because I won a bunch of money on him. I also liked Chief Honcho. But, when he was second to In Excess, who was a monster at that time, there was nobody else in the field. Sultry Song beat some OK horses ( that would be mislabeled great if they were running now ).
