Danzig:

I wouldnt throw Sinister Minister's name in with those others: Colonial Colony, Seek Gold and Lemons Forever.

Why? Because Sinister Minister doesnt win races because of pace collapses. His effort in the Blue Grass was extraordinary. Sure it may have had something to do with the track, but he was simply the boss that day beating some fine horses like Bluegrass Cat, First Samurai and Strong Contender. He also was good before that race winning a few in some very fast times.

He then ran a dud in the Derby but so too did about 3/4 of the field. He returned at Del Mar and was again not so good but it was off a layoff and thats not his favorite track.

Point is, when he is good enough he wins races, regardless of what others do. Lemons Forver, Seek Gold and Colonial Colony need races to fall apart and horses like Perfect Drift to hang. Big difference.
