Talked about the same thing with some of the guys at OTB Saturday after the race. Pyro immediately became probably the most attractive bet in the Derby to me. I don't always draw a line through Poly races by default, but I think he's legit and the price just got a whole lot more fair.

Right or wrong, I agree with you guys. I just hope a lot of backers do jump ship as I suspect they will. If he goes off 10-1 and loses, no regrets because I haveto take a shot at something close to that price.

I personally do not think that you have to worry about people backing off the horse to get that price. So many people (who do not follow racing the other 364 days of the year) will be betting the race and wil see that Pyro ran 12 in last race and will think the horse has no shot. What do they know about poly excuses. I personally think he has a big chance. I am really not in love with any horse yet, but I am thinking that there is going to be a ton of pace in the race. So he is a very logical pick.

i agree math. i also think cool coal man is worth a look.
