If Hard Spun can't get the 10f of the Derby or 12f of the Belmont, you can't blame his pedigree. His dam won a 12f turf stakes at Pimlico and HER dam was a winning half-sister to Preakness and Belmont winner Little Current. It is actually surprising that he has been so speedy at sprint distances; inherits that from dad, undoubtedly. Hope he goes on, like Chief's Crown, another fast Danzig 2yo who had a staying bottom line and excelled at 3 as well.
