Not much of a surprise.
He hadn\'t run since Last Year\'s Travers.
Maybe the Wood was so large he never recovered. Sinister Minister lost again, perhaps for a similar big effort Blue Grass.
Hard to say. But, he did have two cracks at the Derby Distance and decidedly came up short late in those affairs.
Poor Eddie Sexton never got his training shot. How disappointing.

Maybe Graph Racing can use another good man - who knows , Bellamy Road wasn\'t just another horse ... Sinister Minister was still backing up badly off that big number last time i checked + should definately be retiered already ...
Team Beyer (120) and Team TG (negative 5) made this horse an overnight legend off his tour de force Wood. When you buy your stallion register for next year, those numbers will be prominently placed in the ad for BR.
Is it possible that performance was that brilliant?
I guess he will be well received at stud. A graded stakes winner at 2 and 3, and certainly a good looking specimen.
