Leased by King Edward VII, Minoru was conditioned for racing by Richard Marsh. He won important races at age two and although still lightly regarded, at three he won two Classics in which he beat the great Bayardo. His first Classic win came in the 2,000 Guineas Stakes and was followed by a victory in England’s most prestigious race, the Epsom Derby. Minoru missed the chance to win the British Triple Crown when he finished off the board in the St. Leger Stakes
