MO, What I like is his way of moving. I've read he's an awkward horse, but I gotta tell you, I think he moves like the very best kind. Obviously, hes not Seattle Slew, but they called that one "Baby Huey" because he moved like a klutz unless he was running. Hard Spun got a look to him, a very pronounced extension of his head in an interested yet a calm way of observing which I love.

They were all in love with Pletcher, they were hoping for disaster,
with dollars they was pouring, like an avalanche coming down the mountain
