I was thinking Hard Spun was very much like Lure.
Awesome "in your face" speed, by Danzig, precocious speed on the dirt at 2.... Hard Spun's maternal grandma, Chappaquiddick, threw his mom Endear who was a Grade 1 dirt winner...she also threw Tiller who won and competed in just about every important distance turf race on the east and west coasts.

Correct. As of 1115 AM NYRA.com notes turf is OFF, track is muddy and SEALED. There are no actual scratches posted yet, but there have been distance changes...

One of the most ridiculously overhyped, overbet horses in the past 10 years... won an Eclipse without beating a decent horse:
Champion sprinter LOST IN THE FOG (Lost Soldier), who finished a disappointing ninth in Saturday's Smile Sprint H. (G2) at Calder, will be given a rest and could possibly be retired, trainer Greg Gilchrist told Daily Racing Form. "We're not leaning one wa

Did you guys have as radical a change in track conditions as Beyer folks?
From DRF.com:
Strong Contender moved to the head of the Ward/Oxley class with an authoritative 7 3/4-length victory in Tuesday's Grade 2, $150,000 Dwyer Stakes. While the time of 1:45.24 was the slowest of 13 Dwyers run at 1 1/16 miles, the performance earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 109.

Not only becuase this was Graph Racing... but in 2 yo races, I love a horse who has actually shown she can pass a horse and close lengths. She was five out in a 4 1/2 furlong race and won. No other horse had closed more than 1/2 length.
Beautiful... what a nice horse with impeccable breeding.

Take this for what it's worth, but two separate times during the ESPN coverage on Saturday, Jerry Bailey speculated Barbaro was not the same horse as in Kentucky. He based this on the fact Barbaro was pacing extensively in his stall in Baltimore, but in Kentucky he was like a statue, always with his head out of the stall looking around. Bailey, of course, did not try to guess what was causi
