In 1997 I fell for a beautiful gray named Free House (RIP big boy). Broke my heart often as a 3YO, but redeemed himself nicely as an older horse. 10 years later we have Hard Spun. Funny story, I was at the Belmont, and my seats were really bad at the top of the stretch, and was right there as Free House took the lead turning for home. It was only for a brief moment, but it was right there. I've been saying that Hard Spun is another Free House since the Preakness. He was in almost the same spot as Free House was in the Belmont, but my seats are in the Clubhouse now. Fortunately I've only got a few more opportunites to lose money on Hard Spun as he will not race after his 3YO campaign.
Anyone think the Bernard Baruch is an option? Would like to see him on the grass. How about the Kings Bishop? Too short?
