I haven't been a big Hard Spun fan since the Oaklawn fiasco.....but if the race comes up without a lot of pace and several trainers decide to try to rate their horses for the first time, Hard Spun might steal it on the front end. He is bred to go 10f, has good speed out of the gate, and if they don't push him through the first half quickly....he just might be there at the end. I don't think you can toss Hard Spun for that reason.
All of the other "speed" horses in the race this year would need to strap a motor to their ass to get 10f.

Mira, I am slowly buying into the theory that Hard Spun might be able to steal the race on the lead. Another horse that is intriguing is No Biz. He could get a perfect stalking trip behind the leader(s) and then pounce. I know I said I would throw both of those horses out, but when I create my mythical charts of the race I come up with Hard Spun on the lead with No Biz stalking.

I think Hard Spun could end up being bet down for exactly this reason.

I would go with Sunday Silence. He is my all-time favorite horse.
Both of their careers were extremely good. Between the two of them they raced 34 times, and only finished out of the exacta once (a third place finish by Easy Goer). They were both so good....it is hard to rank them.
However, they raced against each other four times and Sunday beat him 3 out of the 4. That is why I have to give him the edge.

That's the only difference
