$40k gets you

Hind ankle injuries are often from non racing reasons like kicking stall walls, which 'crazy' horses tend to do. I thought in the current market climate that he was priced a bit high. Was thinking more like 25 to 30k. I prefer my sires to have fewer issues.

Which stallion doesn't toss unsound fragile horses? Geez the industry is dominated by horses which race 6 times a year..

street sense, 75k
hard spun, 50k


any given saturday wasn't on the list...

what are the odds he comes back at four??

Actually, I would have thought that the prices would have been reversed. Hard Spun is one of the last of the sons of Danzig, a proven sire of sires, was unbeaten at 2, had the speed to beat specialist sprinters and the staying power to still be running at the end of top class 10f races. Street Sense is clearly a 2-turn horse, by a young sire with no proven record with regard to his sons' sire prowess. Hard Spun looks more in line with the market trends of these days.

hard to put hard spun ahead of street sense due to that derby win. had hard spun won it, i could see him going for twice that, no question.

Though I'm sure he will be book full at 50k I would be surprised if his polytrack prowess isn't pointed out quite a bit in his advertisments

i think hard spun will be getting a lot of looks from everyone, and could/should produce for each of the three surfaces. i like his chances as a sire.

I think his synthetic record could help especially being that it has been a long time since a son of Danzig has made a big impact in N. America.

yeah, it has been. but langfuhr is doing well lately, and i think hard spun will draw some good mares as well.

I didn't think either of his two Turfway wins were that impressive.

For his ad they should write "Would have won the Ky Derby if a field of idiotic jockeys didn't allow Street Sense to pass 17 of the 19 other horses in the race, while never having to leave the live rail path."
