Yes I would agree with front runners taking too much criticism when they win races like the Tin Man did. Sinister Minister would have beaten any horse alive that day. To be fair he only had 2 chances to back up his big Blue Grass win and one of them was the Derby. He went fast as expected and faced pressure. Total throwout of a race in my opinion.
Do I think he is as good as his Blue Grass? No way. But I would rank him a lot higher than those other 3 plodders you mentioned.
Hopefully the Minister gets back in a race soon and another chance to validate who he is or isnt.
