The leader after the opening 1/4 mile in The Haskell has been 1st or 2nd the last 6 years.
2006 - 2nd
2005 - 2nd
2004 - 1st
2003 - 1st
2002 - 1st
2001 - 2nd
My guess is after Hard Spun's last 2 attempts at rating they are just going to let him run. IMO, Street Sense would've had no chance there.

I think I remember the trainer/ownership group talk about "painting the Canoe up at Saratoga..."
Maybe they feel like this the the more natural prep for the Travers and the canoe painting.
