I realize that.

However, it's pretty clear that the two winners kin to Curlin are most effective sprinting. One of them was 0-for-5 routing, with one in the money finish. And 3-for-18 sprinting, with 12 in the money finishes. The other one is a short sprint distance specialist.

Hard Spun's dams avg winning distance, from her 4 wins, is 10.13 furlongs.
