no, he got a really good trip. but i think pino opened up on him a bit mid way thru the race, rather than giving him a breather...that didn't help his cause when street sense came up late. i'd say the winner got the MORE perfect trip, and that made all the difference.

curlin on the other hand had to deal with traffic throughout and finished up well. had he also gotten a good trip, hard spun may well have had problems placing.

BUT monmouth plays to speed, the race is a bit shorter, and i think that all helps hard spun here.

oh, and don't apologize! i have no issues talking opinions (until things degenerate into name-calling, stating opinions should never get personal!)..i can handle the smack!
