You're right. There will always only be one "Bid" no matter how good his son gets. Let's just hope his wonderful son carries on his amazing legacy.

RIP old buddy.

Default Minister Bid

I think it is very foolish to knock a horse, any horse.
Minister Bid did the job.
Bottom line, he won....
He will only improve off that effort... where that leads no one really knows, but it is obvious he has some talent.

Charlie Whittingham said never know a horse until he is dead...
Minister Bid has not died yet....

KY Rose,
Ministers Bid is not a son of Spectacular Bid.
He's by Deputy Minister-Princess Petrina (Spectacular Bid).
The one and only Bid was the broodmare sire.

Ministers Bid looked like another overhyped Ward/Oxley horse, just like Strong Contender. Flashy Bull and Racketeert are slugs. They basically walked home. Bernardni's only 3yr old competition is going to come from a freshened Sweetnorthernsaint, a freshened Brother Derek or Showing Up. Those 3 are his only competition in my opinion. Corinthian is just too far behind the 8 ball.

I think the race was a push, it wasn't that good or bad. I have been all over this horse, but I don't think today told us anything either way, only that he won. Those were pretty good horses he beat, I will reserve further judgement until the next race, but I don't think this was a definitive race either way...
