Default Most Interesting Comment....

From this past weekend of racing:

Trainer Steve Asmussen said Pyro came out of the Blue Grass "fine." It was his first and, one would assume by Asmussen's comments, last start on a synthetic surface.

"What can I say other than I sure won't run him in the Breeders' Cup," Asmussen said, referring to the synthetic surface at Santa Anita, where this year's Breeders' Cup will be run; Churchill Downs has a dirt main track.

________________________________

Anyone believe this? If Asmussen really means it, I will be pulling extremely hard for Pyro to win the Derby and the entire TC or at least be one of the two leading contenders for HOY going into the BC and to see him not run because it's on a junk track. Yeah, this stuff really is the savior to racing.
