this reminds me of when smarty lost the belmont..
'SEE' they said, 'told you he couldn't get 12f!!! he lost by a length. came in second after winning every other race he ran in.....yep, they were right. 1 length is the difference between being able to get 12f or not, so i guess a nose is the difference between being/not being a gr 1 horse.
premium tap won, a lot on here said he isn't a true gr 1 horse--and he won the thing! so i guess sun king will just have to suck it up.
i also remember a certain 'bridesmaid' a couple years back...ended up winning a bunch when he finally figured it out. stands for a nice stud fee now too.
aldebaran anyone?
