For those that had Invasor...Congrats! He just hung on to beat Sun King.

Nice pick for those that had him...I didn't.

As game a race horse that I've seen in awhile. He just wasn't going to let Sun King go by.

dead game for sure. I said earlier that he was the real deal today.
other than the debacle in dubai when he carried 130 pounds and was possibly drugged, this horse just refuses to lose. right now i see him as #1 in the US.

I got to meet him last weekend--he's very sweet.
I agree he's up there around #1, since lava man can't run outside Cali, and Bernardini hasn't faced older yet

And by the way...who exactly DID Bold Bkl'n say would win?
Search ALL the threads. You won't find a winning pick.
Find this red boarder for what he is...
He'll tell you who won't win, but not who WILL!

PUFF! BLUFF! GUFF! BSISH-UFF!

Never a winner...just a loser.

Yep, because he's a loser himself.

All i know is I'm starting to get really excited for the BCC. And I have a soft spot for Sun King, as I do for all Charismatics, so I'm really happy with his finish. I thought it was a really exciting race.

I had to work today, but I finally figured out how to make the fracking DVR work. Figures it would be the thought of missing a Grade One that got me desperate enough to figure it out.

hope you saw his gouldings green won the other day.

sun king has been knocking on the door fairly often lately, in the money finish in the met...second a few weeks ago to premium tap got him ready for today. narrow loss.

very, very nice run by invasor. nice to see. he certainly seems to like it here in the u.s.--and certainly belies the notion that dubai will ruin a horse.

flower alley...well, i just don't know. i've never been high on the horse--and didn't believe his second in the bcc last year warranted his top spot in all the polls all year. so what now for him? i know todd didn't have him cranked up--but wow. i'm sure he expected far more than what flower showed today.

Sun King getting up for 2nd ruined me....absolutley ruined me....

I am beginning to hate this horse....he screwed me on BC day when he won that Grade 3 race (2nd race on the card) by beating SCOOBY T with Jerry Bailey up and him not giving two sh*ts about winning that race. Totally F*d up my DD i had going there where I singled Gotaghostofachance in the first race.

Sun King....I no like you .....
