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.

The Cigar comparison must have just been a warm-up,

Lyons actually compared him to Mohammed Ali at one point during that telecast.

yes exactly. as soon as I saw Assmussen at Oaklawn I knew he had no confidence.. isn't it supposed to be a dream of trainers to win the Bluegrass

other than that

I thought Z Fortune did well to finish 2nd considering his post.

am I the only one that doesn't like any horse going into the Derby
