I guess his connections are bullish on him if they\'re willing to drop $100,000 just to get him in the gate. Hey, it worked for them last year. What do you think his chances of improving off that pair up are?
JCJ,
Best Minister would need to improve to win and I think he has less than a 10 percent chance to improve despite the pair-up and distance breeding and keep in mind that he could improve and still lose. I would estimate that he has about a 15-25 percent chance of repeating his last which could hit the board. Finally, given the connection to Sarava, he is also likely to get overbet so I just don\'t see a lot of value there; however, if he goes off at 70-1 (unlikely), my opinion could change.
Good luck.
Chris
