I know who his broodmare sire is, but to me it just doesn't look like he wants to go beyond 8.5.
The horse has certainly proved that he is a solid G3 caliber horse, but I just think MinBid is potentially better than that. As for your argument that Dr. Pleasure will beat Minister's Bid....just out of curiosity....what in the world are you basing THAT on?

I think the pace scenario could play into Dr. Pleasure's hooves better than Minister's Bid, doesn't mean he is necessarily a better horse. I wouldn't be surprised to see hesanoldsalt or Dr. Pleasure hit the board.
