Default Dead game

In all the triple crown races, or the Haskell, I did not lay one dollar on Hard Spun, as I liked others such as Street Sense, or Any Given Saturday. But...the Kings Bishop, this hard tryer had me out of my seat rooting for him coming down the lane. Especially after being headed and fighting so gamely....

Hard Spun ran a courageous race. I imagine as many heartbreaks he has had in the last couple races, having prior being passed late, it would of been easy to throw in the towel in this race. But he was dead game, after he was headed in the stretch. More than any other race, this race showed his true class. Absolute true class.

A better race than the Travers. This horse never gave up.

Don't count him out in the classic.
