true enough.. but still, think its ridiculous that they threw pino off before he even crossed the finish line in the preakness - although i'm pretty sure i remember an article where jones mentioned that he knew hard spun accelerates when he sees daylight, even working.
either way, whoever it was who threw pino off - STUPID MOVE. hard spun probably was screwed out of a show placing, IMO.
