i like high cotton & maybe even dr pleasure more than ministers bid. i don't see why you say high cotton alternates between good and bad races.

outside of his performance @ oaklawn he has run well every time out and has looked very solid in his last 3. he has beaten better than minister's bid. i dont usually give a flying poop about pedigree but since you brought it up, his mommy was by ap indy so i don't see why he will fall apart in the stretch.
bluecat grass and narberdini
might run by him but i don't think anyone else will.
if someone does it will probably be dr. p.
