I was thinking that same thing. Pyro is a good horse. I reluctantly have to admit that. But the time comparison is interesting. Last time, it was said that the girls ran faster because of the pace. This time, the half in the Derby was faster than the pace in the Oaks. The final time was .43 slower than the girls. On the bright side, it was nearly a full second last time so maybe the boys are closing the gap.
