Wertheimer and Frere homebred SPINOFF (Hard Spun&log=">Hard Spun) looks to get his sophomore season started off on the right hoof here. A debut winner at Gulfstream June 23, the chestnut checked in third in the GII Saratoga Special S. when last seen Aug. 12 and tries to two turns for the first time in this test. Out of GISW Zaftig (Gone West), the Todd Pletcher pupil is a half to SP 'TDN Rising Star' Rugbyman (Tapit). His second dam is GISW Zoftig (Cozzene), who produced GISW Zo Impressive (Hard Spun), the dam of GSW 'TDN Rising Star' Souper Tapit (Tapit). TJCIS PPs
