the fact that hard spun had a lead in the derby and then finished second is the reason i feel he may be left alone in the classic. of course, like the derby, he may not finish in front...
again, as in the derby, if anyone else tries to go with him early, they won't finish well. he won't either, but it could cost any other speed the race. difference is, there won't be a twenty horse field, not as many traffic issues, and street sense won't be the only one closing.
should be a heck of a race.
