Amazed that Hard Spun fell so far off the one poor effort.
Agree with Notional being that high as professional does seem like the correct term to describe him at this point
Still believe NBLS is most talented, but blinkers better work in the Wood

That poor effort was confirmed when the horse that beat him, Tueflesberg, went on to be soundly beaten last week by a talented horse making only his second start, Curlin. Most people view Tueflesberg as a horse that doesn't belong on the derby trail. So its make or break time for Hard Spun this week. He fell fast with one bad effort, but he could also climb fast if he has a convincing win this weekend. I wouldn't count on it though.
