Default Pyro Smyro.. What A Slow Horse...

Hello Handicappers,
Oh, I Know Just Because Pyro Work-outs On Poly Were
Decent, That Doesn't Mean He Likes To Race On It? What An Excuse.
He Is Slooooooooooooowww And That's That. The Only Fast Horse
He Ran Against Was War Pass, And He Lost 3 Times?, Big Brown Runs
With His Neck Way Forward Tail Str Back He's Fast And Except For
His Color Runs Like Seattle Slew. Yes I Am That Old To Remember.
After I Seen The Florida Derby, And If You Really Watch It , And You
Can't See The Animal He Is In Looks Stride Professional Way He Lets\ Kent Control Him, Then I Can't Convince You, He Is The Real Deal. Just Ask Dutrwo. Remenber I Told You 2 Wks Ago. Get Your Exotics Ready With Big Brown On Top,

The race meant absolutely nothing. Several of us mentioned on the Blue Grass thread that he didn't figure to like Poly since most Pulpits don't. Just like Cool Coal Man and Big Truck didn't figure to like it either and they didn't do much. Using a poly or grass race when handicapping a dirt race is pointless, just like using a slop race when a horse runs on a dry track. All the race did was help Pyro's price for the Derby.

what does that mean ? who cares what several of you mentioned, even if he did not like the track, he should be better then 10th... it was a horrible performance and if you like pyro you need to be worried.

Oh, but you don't need to be worried about Court Vision failing to win a race that finished in :40.86?

HUGE DIFFERENCE...

court vision ran 3rd not tenth... it was only his second start of the year....

court vision will be between 25 and 40-1

pyro will be the second betting choice.....

No. Colonel John will be. What about Cool Coal Man and Big Truck? Do their backers need to be worried now? I like the former, and I couldn't have been more pleased with Saturday's result. Joke of a surface, and he already has the earnings. As long as he got some air into his lungs, I'm good. Pyro fans should feel the same way.

And Court Vision's odds won't make him any more of a winner.

Good point, I really liked him going into the race, and with those fractions, to me he had no excuses.

If he liked it, he would've crushed the field. He didn't, so what difference is it if he was 6th or 10th? He was there for the fitness aspect, which he figured to get. Yeah, I'm sure Asmussen would've liked to have won but they had to figure that there was a reasonable chance he wouldn't take to it at all. The bottom line is this: synthetic surfaces in no way resemble anything close to real dirt. And if I may quote Bob Baffert, "Polytrack makes good horses look average, and average horses look good".
