Minted's reputation preceded him to the extent that punters hammered the Andre Fabre trainee into favoritism at the kiosks and he did not disappoint his many supporters by producing a debut performance of sheer class to give hope for higher tasks to come. Breaking smartly from a wide box to settle in the wake of the leading pair, the grey eased outside in readiness for his challenge upon passing the quarter-mile marker. Settling the contest in a matter of strides when quickening by rivals to lead approaching the final furlong, the 4-5 selection was pushed clear with the minimum of fuss to account for Un Rendez Vous (Fr) (Priolo) by an impressive five lengths. Minted, the sixth winner for his freshman sire (by Danehill), is a half brother to Minatyla (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}, GSW-Fr). Lifetime Record: 1 start, 1 win, Eu10,500.
