The purse is gigantic and the field is likely to be soft. That goes into the decision just as much as whether it fits his style. NT |

I guess it makes sense, the owners have a gelding and so its a money grab type move, and lets face it they are not Sheiks. I actually have seen numbers that show Mntr as the 3rd most speed biased track in the country. I dont play there enough to know but trust where I got the numbers. Maybe different at night than day?

Here's the list I think the last 20 or so years.... Mine That Bird Curlin Afleet Alex Smarty Jones Funny Cide Charismatic Real Quiet Victory Gallop Silver Charm Free House Thunder Gulch Go For Gin Mane Minister Sunday Silence Easy Goer Risen Star Of those, I think Mane Minister is the only one you could for certain say is worse than MTB. Maybe Go For Gin?? But at this point through the Belmont, I don't think you can claim that one even. So your point is well taken...the last 21 years of those placing in all 3 TC races, I think you can find only 1 worse than MTB to this point.

![]() It's too early to assume how good or not MTB is...let him finish out the year at least before comparing him to past horses who finished in the money in all 3 TC events

![]() Mane Minister was a lot like Mine That Bird in that he tweaked his running style for the Ky Derby.
MM set a solid pace in the Santa Anita Derby and faded out of the money - and next out rallied to finish 3rd at about 100/1 odds in the KY Derby. Trivia, the horse who beat Mane Minister in his debut sired both parts of a post time favored entry in the Kentucky Derby .. name him. |
