Hard Spun?
 
Three for three and is a son of danzig. morning line favorite for the g3 Lecomte Stakes. What kind of numbers has he been running? Anyone know how good he is or have an opinion on what kind of horse he could turn into?

He looks like he's gonna be a nice horse. Anxious to see him step up in competition. You can find replays of two of his races here. Just scroll down til you find Hard Spun.

Ugh I tried to post before and it said I wasn't logged in (which I was) and then dropped my post so I'll try to remember what all I said. I promise, much more eloquent before.

I only found the link to one race, his maiden, but I liked what I saw and I like his breeding--half-sis to Little Current as his second dam was just the tip of the iceberg. There's a nice set of mares in his female family with a reine de course out of a reine de course and obviously it's not just a fluke with one nice foal but in fact several in each mare's history. Hard Spun, Nobiz Like Showbiz, and Tiz Wonderful alone have me excited about this coming season but there's several with buzz. I'm sure some good ones are waiting in the wings so I dunno about you guys but I'm really looking forward to the preps. Some years seem more fruitful than others and this will be more like last year I hope. That was a pretty enjoyable Derby, even before the gate opened and Barbaro won, because of the depth.
