No doubt. Nice duel with First Defence down the stretch. I loved it.

Hated that Spinmaster got off to a bad start. Would have liked to see him be the third horse in that battle.

I've never been a fan of this horse, but I gladly give him a huge load of respect for this performance. Real guts, heart and determination. I love that.

i have loved this horse since last year, and i will admit i thought he could be beat todaY, actually i thought it was likely that he would be beat, i went 5 deep in the pick 4.. trying to beat him........he ran huge, but they finished slow, i dont know what to take from this race, where does he go from here ? they said the bcc at 1 1/4 and that would be very hard for this horse.

I thought First Defence ran very well. What was it his 4th career start. Unfortunatley, that is the first time he has been eye to eye with another horse in the stretch. I saw him at Monmouth and he looked amazing, on and off the track. With a little more seasoning I think he could be a special one.

i thought it was a great performance, his best in some time. he's had too many races lately where he threw in the towel late, but this time he showed true determination, and the heart that some may have thought was lacking. congrats to hard spun.

oh, and rick porter bound to be happy. a few extra millions from darley for getting the gr 1.
