Next for Hard Spun?

I think he'd be a heck of a sprinter...

I was thinking about that angle as well...

But do you think he'd come from off the pace as a sprinter or do you think he'd stay on the pace and try and outlast his competition? I know of his ability to put up sizzling works which would make us believe he can sprint, but...

I said sprint, but actually I think he'd be great at a mile, 7F or 6F...and also, I'm not the biggest Pino fan, but after the Belmont, I think if I were Jones, I'd apologize & put him back aboard.

I don't think it was Jones who wanted him off. Listening to Jones on ATRAB, He didn't seem to think Pino's ride was the reason for losing the Preakness. The pri.ck of an owner was clearly the one who wanted the change. What a loser he is.

They should aim him for the Kings Bishop, maybe he can take down a Grade 1 before he enters his well deserved retirement at the end of the year.

they are aiming to Darley Jonabell.....I'd be surprised if he ever runs again....

Oh and Jones is being very critical of the ride Gomez gave him...said the instructions were clear and Hard Spun was to be on the lead and try to steal it off at the quarter pole because they knew the fractions were going to be slow....not 3 back eyeball to eyeball with Curlin in a stranglehold....not sure how much credit that derserves...but that camp everyone included got exactly what they deserve...but unfortunately HS is the one who suffers...

I think he'd be hard to beat in the BC Dirt Mile.

I was thinking that the whole time. His race was a train wreck the whole race.

I'd like to see him at a mile on the turf or poly. . .
