Hard Spun and Larry Jones at Monmouth (Sarah K. Andrew)

“Porter tried unsuccessfully to get an extension in the contract so Hard Spun could race again in 2008 as a 4-year-old.”

Delaware Online has an article about Hard Spun shipping off to his new life as a stud. Points for effort on Porter’s behalf (kind of), but seriously, did he not think about that BEFORE he signed the contract?
