Minister's Bid gets it done.

http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/insta...&alternative=1

3/4 of a length win over Forest Phantom.
I have to watch the race. From the chart it looks like he worked for the win a couple of times and was not at all patient. Maybe they want Bid to be a sprinter? He seemed like he was best suited and professional enough to rate in stalking position. He isn't fast enough to be a sprinter, and I have to see how much he has matured but he wasn't strong enough to win on the pace in any kind of class at a distance.

Phantom is a Running Stag horse that is supposed to be closing in sprints on the turf. Wasn't anything great in this race beyond the top 2 choices. Still Phantom was supposed to regress over the dirt. So either Minister's Bid was really average today or Amoss moved up an established horse in Forest Phantom.
