That may be true, but he's also never beaten winners and hasn't gone two turns. Won very nicely at Keeneland, but it's way too early to rate him so highly. I guess he'll be 3/2 or so for this. I look forward to his race.

My friend told me that he has been super impressive in the mornings up at Saratoga. I think he goes off at 3-5 and wins like a 3-5 shot should. They were patient with this one and he appears to be a superstar.

you could be right, but that would be disappointing if he went off at odds that short. I have to think Flashy Bull takes some money here.. I'm guessing (hoping for) 6/5 at the shortest..

You would think the field is good enough that he should be 2-1, but I think too many people know about him.

Here's what an astute and keen race watcher(I am laughing as I type this)had to say back in mid April about Minister's Bid:

I haven't capped the race, but I certainly hope Flashy Bull shows his "stuff" here. Looks to me like the Nielsens have him pointed to the Travers.
As Niel Nielsen has previously said, "I'm probably the only person in the country who would rather win the Travers than the Kentucky Derby."
I hope so, and as an Albany-Times by, Tim Wilken, article said...
"They might be watching the Travers from an owner's box instead of at a picnic table."
N Nielson also said, "Believe me, the Kentucky Derby is pretty big but I've always wanted to have a horse in the Travers."

So I'll be cheering for Kiaran McLaughlin, Carole and Neil Neilsen, West Point TB's, and especially Flashy Bull!
Go get 'em big grey!

That guy is full of it. There is nobody alive that rather win the Travers than the Kentucky Derby. Good luck to his horse but horses like Ministers Bid and Bernardini are in a completely different league than Flashy Bull types.
