I like Hard Spun, but I don't like that quote. I could live with it if the work was 59 or so, but 57? What does that say about his internal clock? Shouldn't the average jockey know when he just worked a horse in 57 & change?

Pino is the only thing that worries me about Hard Spun.

Going out in 33 just seems crazy to me. I don't see how they can expect the horse to run 36 or slower in a 20 horse stampede when he just went 33 on his own.

They don't expect him to run 36 or slower early.

I applaud Jones for getting him ready for what he is about to do. He is going to be pumping around there and will still have the lead when they come around the turn.

Then it will get interesting.

If that is the case then he's toast but at least the work makes sense.
