You may, but the people spending the millions on them as stallions can't be.

Hard Spun was clearly the better runner, but the dam's family of War Front was much stronger.

I thought that entire crop Hard Spun was in was overrated (though I did like Tiz Wonderful), especially as stallion prospects. There was some talk or belief back then that Turkoman was this fabulous sire of broodmares....

But yeah, I think War Front took everyone except for RHT by surprise.

I liked his pedigree, and I always liked him as a runner. Thats all I really meant.

War Front had horrible feet.
