I don't mean something crazy-fast like Hard Spun did in his final work leading into the Derby (running a 10 and change 1st furlong, burying a Grade 1 winning sprinter, and getting 5 furlongs in 57 and change.) but I just wish he'd have done something to get him on his toes a little bit....it's about time I'd say.

Off Subject but how long was the race the Xchanger ran at Pimlico a few weeks ago?

is that because you've factored in for a bounce?

From a betting standpoint, I'd have liked Curlin's chances a little more on Saturday had it been a little more than just a maintenace work.
