Maybe he's sitting on an explosive effort and the work is exactly what was needed to take the edge off, so he doesn't do exactly what many people here think he's gonna do, run too hard early and burn himself out. He may be a much smarter horse than he's getting credit for, and same for Jones & Pino. Every move they have made so far may be just what Spunny needed, and they have done the horse right.
The various reasons given so far to toss him have been weak at best, especially considering the expected price. If he drew inside in the Southwest race and if he won by a wider margin at Turway he would be coming in with more Curlin-like hype and low odds.
