Hard Spun to Oaklawn
 

Add Hard Spun to the list of horses headed to Oaklawn for the Southwest, Rebel and Arkansas Derby. Seems like we have a good group of 3 year olds down there.

Who are the other supposed good horses?

Pegasus Wind is down there. I don't know who else is stabling there but Pletcher will be shipping in for the stakes.

Westwon is the best 3yo down there

Right, perhaps the more accurate phrase would be Hard Spun to race at Oaklawn. He's been down there for a bit.

He is not a legitimate Derby horse in any regard.

BTW, West is in on the second. Took that buffoon Mckee out, put Jacinto on, added blinkers, he will win by the length of the stretch. Finally more ground for this big bastard

they were looking at both routes--knowing there were only two opportunities for graded purses at oaklawn, and after his win at the fair grounds showed he liked that track...but his cough and race spacing has finally shown them which way to go. oaklawn it is. he's been here since the wednesday after his penna nursery win.
