Some people enjoy trying to pick the winner of the Kentucky Derby in January. Fine. I don't. I have no way of knowing what kind of form Hard Spun will be in 4 months from now, or what other quality 3yos will emerge, but I do think he is a colt to watch for in the bigger 3yo races in the weeks ahead.

i just wanted to take a second to thank danzig188 and miraja2 for actually providing us with an interesting discussion about a derby contender they like without making any absurd predictions or declarations.
in this instance, i actually disagree with your analysis, because to me hard spun doesn't move in a way that makes me think he will be strong going 9+ furlongs against true g1/g2 competition. but regardless who is right, the colt is 4 for 4 so i can't blame you for liking him, but mainly i just appreciate your rational discussion, and most of all, your restraint.

you're welcome!

i try not to get too up on these guys. too big a letdown when they can't sustain the pace we always set for them.

it's always interesting from now til may. some people back one horse come hell or high water. some bounce from horse to horse after each prep is run. always fun!!

well,....since you called dibs. i guess he's yours.
i feel comfortable calling dibs on hard spun. started keeping an eye on him when he went in the penna nursery. was hoping he would run well, and he did. but i am willing to share...
onward and (maybe) upward!

Hopefully your wagon doesn't get too crowded....the Rick Porter (remember Rocky?) and Penn Nursery connections cause hysteria amongst racing fans!

i was never too terribly big on rockport harbor. thought he would turn out not liking longer. i'm just really not a big fan of unbridled songs foals.

as for the wagon, the more the merrier!
