cowboy cal
court vision
colonel john
monbA

Top 4, as in contenders? With the exception of Colonel John, that is a very original list to say the least. Would love to see what that super would pay.

I'm baffled by Pyro's lack of a run of any sort, but if he goes to Churchill and looks good in his works, I'll use confidently and now I get a price. Anyone remember the 1995 Derby winner came out of the Bluegrass a dull 4th after winning the Florida Derby, then was dismissed at 24-1. Dull 4th isn't a no factor 10th, but on that surface, it's easy to just toss the thing out and be thankful for twice the price.

I don't know if anyone caught TVG.....

Frank Lyons put on a stellar display for the ages. "The way Pyro looks today, they should all be 100/1 against him!"

That was just the start of it - after that he got up on horse back and delivered more great quotes.

According to the stats in the form, Steve Asmussen trained horses have made 292 starts on a synthetic track - won 12% - and have a $2 ROI of $1.07... a mere 46.5% loss on the betting dollar.

That does include his run at Presque Isle Downs last year - where his horses ran mind-bogglingly awful all meet long.

I don't know if it's just a fluky stat with a big sample size - maybe it has something to do with shoes for all I know - but he should probably stick to the dirt.

His babies seem to run great in the 4.5 furlong synthetic races - his synthetic ROI would probably be under a buck if you take those races out.

yeah I caught someone else, or maybe it was Lyons, who said that in the paddock Pyro reminded him of Cigar!
the pre-race accolades for Pyro were really flowing heavy.
