People are quick to say "toss this" when a horse doesn't perform to the expecations that they expected of him regardless of whether or not the expectations were unrealistic or not in the first place. I think that it's pretty obvious that Pyro is a better horse than he showed yesterday but I don't totally blame his performance on the track. Even if he doesn't like the track, he should still have been able to put in a better effort than he did. Street Sense in last year's Blue Grass is a good example.
