I think it's fair to call him a CD "horse for the course" --- however, it takes a pretty impressive horse to return off a layoff, in a 3yo debut, going two-turns at Tampa Downs, and win with a triple digit figure. It's not like he can't run his race away from CD.
I agree, I don't think he is ready to take on Invasor. I think he has been managed and ridden perfectly. I have to wonder how good Hard spun could be if they actually had a plan like Nafsger.
