A Horse Belle and Sebastian Could Love

Given the peculiarities of Keeneland, I wouldn't think too hard about what the Bluegrass Stakes tells us about the relative merits of the Triple Crown hopefuls. But Sinister Minister's huge win is nothing to sneeze at. Any time your margin of victory is so big that it gets up compared to Arts and Letters and Alydar (the only two horses to post longer margins of victory in the 82 runnings of the Bluegrass), well, you've had a great day. Rick Bozich is comparing the win to Secretariat's win in the Belmont (which was arguably the most overwhelming victory in a graded stakes race in decades).

And in case you were wondering, the favorite - Bluegrass Cat - actually came in fourth in this year's running of the Toyota Blugrass Stakes.
