But aside from Pyro winning convincingly again, there were a few positives to take from his performance. As trainer Steve Asmussen noted after the race, Pyro was into the game early, racing in easy striking distance. When a closer like Pyro is not at the mercy of the pace, he is a much more dangerous performer. And Pyro made a couple of moves Saturday, an asset that can often be helpful in oversized fields like the Kentucky Derby.
Those are nice plusses, for sure. But they're not enough for me to think that it still isn't Pyro looking up at War Pass, who defeated him all three times they met last year, instead of the other way around
