You have not been impressed with Bernardini?

We agree on Mineshaft (for which I'm grateful, since I spent much time exhausting myself defending him), but part ways here. Obviously no horse is unbeatable....so, that's not my point. This horse has so much ability, it's scary.........and he can only get better. I'm curious as to why you think he can be had. IMO, Bluegrass Cat and the horses behind him are plodders; they have no shot. By the time they make their move, Bernardini would be too far out in front (as he can move in a flash). Jazil? I just don't think he's all that fast.......

Flashy Bull is in tomorrow at Belmont in a NW1X that came up extremely tough. The race also drew Minister's Bid, a Ward runner who was IMO the most impressive Mdn winner of the spring Kee meet when he closed over that track wide and earned a 97 Beyer. Racketeer is in there as well; he was 4th beaten only 2 1/2 by AP Warrior and Point Determined in the San Felipe. Forest Phantom has a 2nd to High Finance; Habsburg is a Harty runner off a Mdn win at Bel (93 Beyer) and Elements is off a solid 3rd at Bel; 8 lengths in front of 4th (93 Beyer). This has the makings of a key race.

Go Flashy Bull. I love that horse but that is a tough field. Ward horses have looked pretty good so far at Belmont. I think one won by 16 the other day. Ministers Bid could be a special horse. I follow Keeneland pretty closely and his win was arguably the most impressive of the meet.

I like Minister's Bid over Forest Phantom & Flashy Bull. Forest Phantom is a consistent horse who almost always hits the board and Flashy Bull has the best past numbers but doesn't usually win either (although he is typically facing better than this).
I think I'll play this race and bet exactas and trifectas w/ MB over these two.

I agree Minister's Bid could be a real special horse. I tend to downgrade big Kee wins and figs, but most big wins there are speed horses who get to the golden rail, and that wasn't the case with Minister's Bid. Other than Bernardini's Mdn win at GP, this was as good as any I've seen in 2006.
