One thing, however, that Pyro showed his doubters today was that in finishing second to War Pass he wasn't a suck-up phony. He showed that against lesser foes, even without a good set up ( in fact far from it ), he was dominant. His performance today was a compliment to War Pass, but moreso it showed that Pyro can run....he's just been hampered by facing a superior foe. The question that DrugS discusses, and the obvious question, is whether or not that superiority will extend to the classic races and their extra distances.
I have to say I was surprised by some of the comments I read about Pyro leading into this race. It was hard to understand, at least for me, when looking at the pps for today's race how he could realistically lose.
