HIDDEN SCROLL picked up his 3rd career win in race #7 at Oaklawn today. Seemed very relaxed in the post parade. Slow coming out of the gate. Lots of traffic early. Found room on the outside. Came around the turn in the 5 path and rolled to the front. Hand ridden. Overcame early adversity. Nice win. Hoping this guy finally has his head on straight. Maybe the trainer change has helped. Brad Cox is really hot right now.

YEP! And he had to fight for this win. Showed guts coming back after being headed like that.

Glad to see them doing so well! I had my doubts about this track, but unnecessarily. There had been so few winners there in the past, but maybe just the quality of the horses by Hard Spun running there. When they are good, they do better.

He may have found his calling...coming off a 2 month layoff going 1 1/2 miles! I watched the replay. Looked like he had to wait in traffic and go really wide around the last turn. He really did come flying at the end, as you said. So, now he is G3 placed. Bodes well for the future.
