I guess if you believe Borel that he had a lot more horse under him that could very well be the case. I don't mean to sound as if I am personally knocking Street, both horses ran tremendously.

so glad to see hard spun came back with a win. was hoping his first loss a few weeks ago was an anomaly.

Glad to see the insight on Hard Spun here. This has been my personal Derby favorite from the get-go, so from that stand point I'm glad to see he's probably going to have the earnings to get in the race. I'll be interested to see how he runs in the Blue Grass against what looks to be a loaded field. If he runs well, that will be one short price on Derby day.
