2006 Met Mile Results

Second place finisher Sun King heads out of the paddock for the post parade before the race. Trainer Nick Zito, obviously very frustrated at the loss, said, "In the Donn, we finished second. In the Pimlico Special, we finished second. In the Met Mile we finished second, and we beat Pletcher all three times. It's like the freakiest thing ever. The horse ran great. He ran his guts out. This was a tough beat. We lost to the horse that won the Breeders' Cup Sprint over this track. We're there all year in these Grade 1's, we need to win one. This race just adds to Sun King's legacy. I love Sun King." Jockey Rafael Bejarano added, "He finished so strong. (Silver Train) just never stopped. My horse was trying all the time."
