Hard Spun went into the Derby off of a five week layoff - since FF is so heavily raced this year - I think he might go into the race off of a six week layoff. Probably will run in the Blue Grass if he chooses one final prep.

Yeah, I agree about OF. That is about not having the screws tightened yet. I expect him to run a much better race in the Arkansas Derby.

No way he wins the Kentucky Derby though.

I don't like him in the Derby either - but he's much less absurd than Fresian Fire!
