You know it's a crap shoot....I think Hard Spun is as good as any horse in the field...One thing about the work that doesn't bother me is it's been a while since he raced and he was a handfull. So the 57 and 3 cured some of that, no doubt....but he has apparently been full of himself since as well, so they might be sitting on a monster....who knows....I am still amazed that he's 15/1 on the m/l. I just don't understand it and will be amazed if he isn't close to or even the betting fav at post time.....

I'm starting to worry about a faster than expected pace.

You think that Hard Spun is going to gun to the front? Maybe Teuflesberg will loaf around and wire the field.

Well, if we get the Nobiz like Shobiz of the Wood, he's going to be at or near the lead, I'm guessing. THere are plenty of horses here who probably won't have the opportunity to run their usual race. (Yes, I know, Captain Obvious here.)
