Anyone remember when Strike the Gold's rabbit Loach could get no closer than 3rd or 4th early in one of his races?

So then you must think Latent Heat outsprints him early? I'm getting a feeling that Frankel knows Bejarano has to grab a hold of him early in order to get the mile. Half Ours and Accountforthegold coming off route races probably won't get involved in a sub-45 half. I think the rabbit should be able to get pretty close to the lead, if not grab it outright, considering that's his only purpose.

I often try to find a closer who could benefit from the "rabbit" other than the one he's meant for. Sun King applies to that idea perfectly. I think he's a major player tomorrow. However, should Prado be able to stalk just behind the projected hot pace Lawyer Ron will be very, very tough.

Terrific race all in all.
