Hard Spun going to Derby

Postby Heidilady » Thu Apr 12, 2007 3:24 pm

Apparently they liked how he went at Churchill in his work. They'd been concerned both about how the Blue Grass was drawing and that HS didn't like Oaklawn's surface but after seeing his work and how he came back, he's in the Derby as far as they're concerned. I assume he'll just be training up to the race since they didn't want to have him leave his Derby in the BG against those horses. Now, as with any contender, he's gotta make it in the gate.

I got a notification of the work which was a bullet but not life-threateningly fast. So I figured we'd get an announcement like this but I'm glad it came quickly.
