Its hard to overemphasize how strong of a performance Hard Spun put in today.

Its shaping up to look like we have at this point potentially three stars emerging from the group, and they finished 1-2-3 today.

I would be surprised if Hard Spun raced again. Not only was this race a gut wrencher, but given Porter's history, on the shelf he goes

We can only hope he runs back in the Preakness.

It is if he's a good horse.....and he sure ran like one today.

This mythical bounce stuff needs to stop.

Hard Spun ran a really good race today. Agree that the Derby answered many questions and there are three talented colts in this group. The Preakness will be very interesting, I think Curlin is just getting better and can be real tough.
