Default Monday works

Well Churchill is so different this year on the backside because of Keeneland. There was really nothing to report this year like there was last year. I saw Curlin and Zanjero work this morning. Both works were basically maintenance works. I will say that Curlin is a very small horse. I do not think this horse has the frame to be able to handle the bumping he will get in the Derby. Zanerjo seemed to move over the surface better than Curlin. This horse is actually growing on me a little. I dont think he will win, but he may get a finished in the top 6.

Hard Spun looks unbelievable awesome. His work today was freaking awesome. His coat is stunning, he ate everything up and he appears ready to go.

I will go to the backside again tomorrow to see if there is anything else going on.

Hard Spun might well be a shocking winner at a good price for a horse who is 5 of 6 lifetime and had a bad trip in his lone loss. I bet he'll be 10-1 or better.

I just read that was the fastest pre-Derby week work by a Derby runner since Forego in 1973.

Pretty foolish, I can understand 12/24/35/46/57 but don't understand why you would want your horse to go out in 33 unless you want him to be a total pace casualty in the Derby.

Default sorry

Might this just be a "blow out"? workout. I come back to the lanes end i know it wasnt the best race in the world but i still can cant get the sight out of my head of his jock not even moving, and i think they were going at a decent clip that day and at no point, no point did i not think that hard spun was not going to win the race after they left the gates. He wasnt even the fav in that race as well. Hey what do i nkow. i just live here in lville and the town is starting to really jump.
