He is bred to go 10f, has good speed out of the gate, and if they don't push him through the first half quickly....he just might be there at the end. I don't think you can toss Hard Spun for that reason.
All of the other "speed" horses in the race this year would need to strap a motor to their ass to get 10f. |
Mira, I am slowly buying into the theory that Hard Spun might be able to steal the race on the lead. Another horse that is intriguing is No Biz. He could get a perfect stalking trip behind the leader(s) and then pounce. I know I said I would throw both of those horses out, but when I create my mythical charts of the race I come up with Hard Spun on the lead with No Biz stalking.
