TIMELINE (Hard Spun), the $500,000 KEESEP yearling whose reputation preceded him into his Mar. 4 debut at Gulfstream, looks to go two-for-two while stretching out an additional furlong here for trainer Chad Brown. Backed down to 2-1 favoritism first out, the chestnut kicked it in late to get up by a half-length, and was flattered when the fourth-place runner from that heat Time to Travel (Hard Spun) returned to win impressively and garner 'TDN Rising Star' status back in Hallandale last Saturday.
