Blue Grass Analysis

OK, last week we gave out the winners of The Wood and The SA Derby right here on the Blog and this week we will try and give out the winner of The Blue Grass.

There are several horses in here that figure to run improved races off their last efforts. Cowboy Cal, Monba, Halo Najib, and Medjool are strong contenders and could run the race of their young careers in this spot. However I feel the horse that has raced, trained and turned in the best efforts among this field is Pyro.

It seems Pyro has matured as a 3-year-old and has gotten better with each passing race. While being bred to run all day he hasn't run a bad one yet and in this spot I can't see him being too far off at the wire.

So what do you think happened with Pyro. Was it the polytrack? Or is it something else?

No, I don't think the surface hurt him. In fact with his off the pace running style the surface should have helped him. Pyro might be a tired horse. He just didn't fire and that usually means being tired or hurt. We'll see how he works up to the Derby. If it's all easy breezes then I would stay away. But if he fires some nice works then he should be back to himself.
