Uncontested speed is VERY elusive at Monmouth.....
As Gottcha Gold has shown in his upset of Lawyer Ron at double digit odds and his Iselin obliteration at double digit odds.
Which is why people are foolish to think Hard Spun would somehow not be very dangerous if he got loose over that track against horses who are beating him by a couple lengths while almost consistantly having better trips than him.
But hey, now it looks like Gottcha Gold might go the BC Classic route instead of the BC Dirt Mile and 70 route. So, maybe HS wasn't getting uncontested anyway.
