Running a terrible race on any surface on your final prep to the Derby traditionally doesn't payoff. If PYRO had trained on polytrack and showed displeasure over it I'm sure Assmussen would have looked for an alternative race. PYRO had three published works at Keeneland since March 24th. He had enough time to adjust to the surroundings and track. Apparently he didnt show any negative signs for him to be shipped elsewhere. I could accept a step back to setup for the Derby but this was alot more than a step back.
