Are you implying that the Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes is somehow not an important race?
Why, the winner of it has finished either 1st or 2nd in the Kentucky Derby 66.6% of the time throughout the long and storied history of that race!
Hard Spun's sire never had to win a stake race on the track--and he sure went big time! And besides....didn't you hear that Darley guy....he said he's "thrilling!" As others around here like saying so much.....he sure has done enough.
