The race between Ashford’s Scat Daddy and Darley’s Hard Spun for champion freshman sire went down to the last day of 2011 and a thousand (or so) dollars. Below are some conversations about the race, real time as it happened. See my column in Thoroughbred Times TODAY (Wednesday) for more thoughts.
I think everyone here would agree that Hard Spun has an interesting pedigree and a durability that Scat Daddy just doesn’t have. He’s quite the throwback horse and so he is the freshman sire of the year in my book as well as most racing fans.
