Why are Hard Spun's Connections so stubborn?

So, not that anyone cares, but after all of the bitching I did about having Hard Spun run in the Classic and not put him on turf, I must now admit this seems like the right move. I can't believe he will be loose on the lead again but it certainly looks that way. Lawyer Ron is the ONLY one that has enough speed to run with him, but are they really going to send him and hook up the Hard Spun for the opening 6f? What does he have to go to have a shot 1:11? Can he get away with that?
