I'm not a trainer, and Larry Jones is a good trainer, but according to his pps and really any speed figures you use, Hard Spun ran his best career race at Oaklawn. The bottom line is Jones found the weakest race with the best purse to guarantee Hard Spun a spot in the Derby if he won. I applaud him for that but find this " he didn't like Oaklawn " stuff to fly in the face of the facts.
I am not saying I will always be right, as sometimes the stories are true, but for the most part ignoring " trainerspeak " is the best thing you can do.
