But Hard Spun was the most amazing horse to me. A solid sprinter who had the most endurance of any horse I've ever seen.
Where in my posts did you gather that I was suggesting I expect them to stretch out successfully?

Hard Spun had the most endurance of any horse you've ever seen? I take it you haven't seen many horses.
