Any respect for Pyro now?

The first quarter fraction for speed horses, especially in route races, is most often the telltale split for what he or she will be able to do late. After War Pass ran :22.46 around a turn neck and neck with a rabbit, Court Vision had all the help he needed.

A faster third quarter in the Derby isn't going to make the difference between an embarrassing performance like that and a win.

You honestly think Pyro wouldn't have won the Wood on Saturday?

i know you're asking jcs, but i can't think of a race this year that pyro couldn't have won.
