For You Reppo never really ran a step. Desourmeaux did a good job saving ground into the first turn and just had no horse. The problem with polytrack races is you don't know if it is the surface or the horse. They would be wise to take a step back and think about midsummer to late fall dirt races for him. Surely he's better than he ran today though probably not top class.

Hard Spun ran well. How much better than last time is debatable as nobody else seemed to run a step. I just hate these polytrack results because I don't know what to take from them.

Hard Spun ran hard from the beginning, got himself into good position after settling in, and then ran away. I would say the connections could not have asked for a better run. There is nothing to say except he is good. Yet another horse that can get in good position because of quickness out of the gate coupled with front in spend, and the ability to hold form.

He does pound the ground pretty good. He goes on to the Blue Grass where he will be severely tested provided horses stay healthy.

I thought he ran pretty good. The race was loaded with speed, and he battled wide the whole way. The only negative I'd say is we really don't know what he beat because they were mostly grass and Poly specialists.
