Hard Spun is a very fast horse running on the wrong surface. Looking at his confirmation, stride and breeding (by super grass sire Danzig out of a turf stakes winning dam by hidden turf distance sire Turkoman), he should be a much better horse on turf. If you watch his action, the further he goes on dirt, the more his gait works against him. If I owned him, I'd move him to the grass with a view towards running him in the Belmont Turf G1s in the fall.
