Take your Danzig Connection example. His broodmare sire (Sir Ivor) was a multible stakes winner at the lengthy distance of 12f. More importantly, Danzig Connection had a lot of Princequillo on his dam's side. That is where the whole mutant heart business comes into play, and is probably why DC could win going 12f.
Anyway, I digress....Hard Spun appears to have talent and a pedigree that indicates he might be strong going 9f and beyond. He could be a nice 3yo.

i hope he turns out well. never been up on a 3 yo this early in the year. been watching him since two races ago....
and yeah, it's supposed to be speed from the sire, stamina from the dam, but...horses don't know who their parents are!
danzig sires anything and everything. an amazing horse.
