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?
Its funny you mention Aldebaran, he is not talked about very much. This horse killed me. I was all over him one year with Bailey aboard at low odds and he could just never get up. I swore off of him. Gave up. Next year he comes up with mutliple gr1 wins!! And i don't make a penny!

oh well, still liked him.
