I don't know man...

A horse like Pyro could be an extremely likely and big margin winner of the Belmont Stakes.

Especially if Asmussen doesn't try and tweak his training a little to put more speed into him right before the Derby.

The Equibase chart comments lists Hey Byrn as being bumped hard at the start.

I don't see the bump.

You can see it better on the head-on.

He and Elisyum Fields bumped into each other pretty hard and a little squeezing went on.

Not exactly the kind of start you want to have when drawn out there.

Here's a bit of a blurry pic of about where it happened. He's in pink and EF is wearing the white blinks.




Elisyum Fields was like a pinball between those two horses.

Looks more like the grassy knowel to me. Is that Texas?
