Default Another Gr 1 winning sprinter who probably won't run in the BC

Besides Fabulous Strike ... I doubt you'll see todays Forego winner Pyro in the Breeders Cup.

In his two synthetic starts...

he couldn't beat a goat when he finished 10th beaten double digits at even money to the amazing Monba in the Blue Grass.

he ran equally terrible in last years dirt mile .. in spite of getting the dream pace setup of a lifetime (they went 22 and 45 flat in a two-turn mile) he still got drowned.

I don't think Pyro could win it on dirt.

His connections said so after the race. Instead of the BC Dirt Mile they will target the Cigar Mile.

Did you really think they would try to win with him at 6 f?

Either the Sprint or dirt mile... probably whichever spot Vineyard Haven wouldn't go.

Vineyard Haven ran the fastest pace figure of the whole meet at Saratoga. He's basically the raw fastest horse in the East... early speed wise anyway ..Fabulous Strike included.
