The Skinny
The runner-up in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile got a late start on the Triple Crown Trail, and has yet to taste stakes competition in 2004. Didn’t like how he changed back to his wrong lead during the stretch runs of his last two races, and it’s questionable whether he can handle such a steep class hike. Trained by a master horseman in Mandella, Minister Eric has tactical speed, and should find a nice stalking spot about 5-9 lengths off the early lead. Once he gets his lead changes down, he might throw in a monster effort. Until then...
