I don't know if that is fair to say about a closer who lost his races as a 2yo and then won them as a 3yo. If he doesn't get the same setup on the front end but still closes to win then I don't think the time is that important. I think he's a better horse from 8 to 8.5 furlongs that has his closing kick dulled as the distances get longer.

Put him under the care of a honest trainer and he'll end up being a 40k claimer.

That's my feeling as well.

I'm more impressed with the run Recapturetheglory had in the Derby than anything Pyro did this year.

Yup.

He did run huge in the Derby

He will be tough if he runs that race

Guess I saw it differently than you guys. He tracked an average pace, totally avoided trouble, and held on for fifth. What was huge about it?

Agree with you; he's a miler, didn't stay in either the Blue Grass (poly generally requires stamina or extraordinary fitness) and the Derby.

Ya that was his problem
