Excellent stretch run by a determined colt. Hard Spun is not to be underestimated as a potential classic sire. Link to race video is included in the report.

Hard Spun Colt Takes UAE 2000 Guineas

Its rubbish comments like that annoy me and inflate the price of Danzig line stock.
Only 1 Northern Dancer line stallion Boundary sired a Derby winner, Big Brown.
Hard Spun isn't gonna do this and neither will War Front.
Another bubble burst with The Great War flopping, War Front = cheap early speed.
War Fronts stats on dirt are starting to flop he needs a stellar year this year or a reduction of about 90% in stud fee.

What does War Front have to do with this?? The OP was talking about HARD SPUN.
While I am not a champion of the Danzig line (although it is nice on the damside sometimes) I don't understand your unprovoked attack of War Front..

So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

Re: Hard Spun Colt Takes UAE 2000 Guineas
Hard Spun was one of my favorites, but I did not feel he was at his best at a mile and a quarter. That said, he was in the money in the Classics against one of the best three year old crops of recent years - Street Sense, Curlin, etc., as well as being a very fine sprinter in his own right. A classy horse who has every chance of being a very good sire. A classic sire? Maybe not, but Lucky Pulpit is a classic sire.
