Without being a smart ass this time - I don't think it was unclear at all.
Hard Spun wasn't that much horse when he didn't make the lead - and when he didn't make the lead and raced wide over a live rail - he wasn't good enough to even hit the board in the Southwest Stakes.
Street Sense - I know I supposedly have a huge bias against him and all - but all of his good races came with the same illogically good trip.
Rags To Riches had a great route pedigree and a slow paced 12 furlong race was what she was tailor made for.
Curlin didn't always win when things didn't go his way - but he didn't need things to go his way to run big.
How many 3yo champions go through a season undefeated?
