He doesn't have to take his track with him. If a horse can show versatility and the ability to ship, that's a positive. All I hear is he's slow and no one has given me any evidence of how he's so slow he's only 5 points off of the top BSF. If someone can explain that logic to me, I would love to hear it. Besides, I'll wait and look at the Sheets if he looks slow there, then I will discount him, because I believe those are superior numbers to the BSF's.
versatility and the ability to ship, and the only horse you can come up with is Cowtown? Don't you think there are just a few other horses fitting that description?

good luck, bet early and often.

Heck, Hard Spun's won over four different tracks, two different surfaces, and actually has talent.

I adore him. I hope I get to meet him in the barn someday. I was just trying to lighten the mood around here... everyone seems to be on pins and needles tonight.

See above, I'm with you on this one

He's pretty quiet in the barn. Doesn't seek out much attention.
