I think there is a lot of foolishness going in with how Hard Spun is being managed.
I'd never question the trainers horsemanship ability---I think he's solid, however, I'm not a fan of some of the quotes I've heard come from him going back to that Southwest Stakes.
Look at Lawyer Ron---he certainly loves it at Oaklawn Park, and he ran terrible in his two races at Churchill...albeit the two most important races in the country. I've always believed each horse is its own entity...and each racetrack is its own entity. Certainly each race is its own entity.
