“I asked him for run around the turn to try and set myself up pretty good and I didn’t get the response I was hoping for,” said jockey Shaun Bridgmohan. “I realized on the turn that it just wasn’t going to be his day.”
Maybe at some point PYRO was eased on but not before trying to run his usual race. I can understand the theory that he didnt take to the track or he wasn't being pushed hard training for this race to keep him fresh for the Derby/Triple Crown. My point is he finished so far back it couldnt be good for fitness or confidence in him. Now worse to hear he finished tenth in race that mustered such a low figure is terrible. Top class horses don't run final prep clunkers like that. Funny thing is the race might set up for him but I personally think he'll flatten out and conditioning will come to question after the race. Good luck with him.
