Derby site blog about Hard Spun

[Citizen 1101]

Replying to comments on Kentuckyderby.com is almost impossible. The site kept asking me to log in although I was already logged in and when I finally got to a page that allowed me to post my comments, it kicked me back to the home page. I wrote someone at Churchill about how difficult it is to actually reply to comments on that site.

The blogger in question was Justin Dew. There's no telling who his "private clocker" might be. It could have just as well been a hot walker with a wrist watch. You would think that he'd be a little more detailed in his writing. Maybe he's just trying to push the odds up on Hard Spun by reporting shoddy, second hand information.

I didn't have any trouble replying, when I submitted is when things got a little suspect. My first post went through then was gone, when I tried to post again, I got an error saying I wasn't authorized, and when I tried the third time the entire thread was gone....the whole chain of events just stunk....when whoever tried to cover it up is when it got really stupid, because when he replied to one poster, he said he was simply commenting on his work at Churchill....HS's on work to date at Churchill was a 5F bullet. so imo opinion and I apologize if any knows him personally, I don't care what his credentials are, his opinion means nothing.

I have no idea if I'm going to use Hard Spun in any picks, but I still consider him one of the top tier horses in this year's Derby and if he gets a good break and is up on the lead coming out of the first turn, he could be really tough to beat.

With so many intanglibles in this years Derby.....preps on poly, time between preps, etc....it's a shame that one of the so called experts can cloud the picture even more....

I was afraid of that. I am always entertained with the things he has to say. Now I am just disappointed.
