Hard Spun runs strange. I commented to my friend about this when he had a daylight lead on the back stretch. It appears that with every 3rd or 4th stride he severely dips his head for whatever reason, I actually thought he was taking bad steps or having some physical issues at one point.. Obviously thats just his style because he ran very well.
Street Sense was dead tired coming to the wire, switched back to left lead and was slowing down noticeably... He won due to a technically great ride, some luck having the rail being fast(again) and wide open(again!!). I do not think he has a chance to win either of the following TC races.
I'm not here to bang on Street Sense, I had decent money on his nose here, but I think he is a classic horse for the course...
