Like Gottcha Gold had no shot of beating Lawyer Ron at near level weight?

Hard Spun only lost the Derby because the winner was allowed to pass 16 horses without leaving the rail....his race was unarguably better.

You really think he's as effective when he doesn't have the lead? To hold the fact that he out-photo'd Curlin against him...while denied the lead after an early stumble....I don't see the logic behind that.

But hey, Hard Spun will be a price in the Classic.....I'd be very excited to bet him in that spot.
