Yes I am very interested. I like Hard Spun, and this should be a better test of his ability than the Lecomte. I have not looked at the PP yet, but I know Asmussen's Distorted Humor colt is coming off a strong performance at the 8f distance of this race, and Going Ballistic has also won a pair of stakes races at 8f. The fact that Hard Spun drew outside is also interesting.
Don't get me wrong, this is no field of superstars, but seemingly talented 3yo may be tested a little for the first time. That is interesting to me.
