 Those are two horses that actually have very legit chances in the derby. Wouldn't it be interesting if another PA bred won the derby?

Pennsylvania has become the haven for derby horses... NOt really ,but i would love to think so myself... I'm actually shocked to see Hard Spun bounce back like that...I for one tried to beat him Saturday. Couldnt care less about the money i lost on him, just glad to see him back in the big picture... QUICK QUESTION.. If John Servis was still conditioning, would they have left Oaklawn for Turfway???

The horse seemed to work just fine at Oaklawn before his loss. So he wins on the poly at Turfway and all the sudden Jones is a friggin genius. Come on!

I think hard Spun had a very impressive performance. We saw the horse rate which is fantastic. This is something that I have been waiting to see from this horse. Quay and Sense come from the clouds. Hard Spun will get a nice trip in the Derby right behind all the speed. There are only a couple of horses that have his running style this year. I really like Hard Spun's chances in the Derby.

I liked the race by Hard Spun. He is a legitimate contender. It's not a requirement to win every Derby prep for the most part. He is a top 10 3 yr old without question in my opinion. Based on what I've seen, there is no way I could rate him below a horse like Nobiz Like Shobiz for example. And that one sits high on most lists. Sets up the Blue Grass nicely, which may be a better race than the Ky Derby. It is one of the strongest Derby preps I remember in recent years. Made more interesting by the fact that Any Given Saturday probably needs a top 2 finish to get the required earnings to earn a spot in the Ky Derby. Any prep with 4 of the top 8 3 yr olds is certainly a must see. And I think that's what you got that race.

besides, horses work well quite often and then stink on race day. who knows, maybe the surface changed between work and race. at any rate, he only ever lost at oaklawn--so i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. altho, there's always the oh so truthful we don't know what happened, he just lost line...
