Majestic Warrior (Lost both the Derby Trial and Woody Stephens)
J Be K (Was never a router)
Unbridled Vicar
Z Fortune (Lost the... Ohio Derby!)

Is there anyone besides Big Brown that would somehow make that list more impressive? Guadalcanal beat Big Brown so does that mean he's better?

Whoopity doo.

oh he beat other plugs in Louisiana this winter. BFD.

Sure seems his best running was done as a 2YO

I don't know if that is fair to say about a closer who lost his races as a 2yo and then won them as a 3yo. If he doesn't get the same setup on the front end but still closes to win then I don't think the time is that important. I think he's a better horse from 8 to 8.5 furlongs that has his closing kick dulled as the distances get longer.

Put him under the care of a honest trainer and he'll end up being a 40k claimer.

That's my feeling as well.

I'm more impressed with the run Recapturetheglory had in the Derby than anything Pyro did this year.

Agree with you; he's a miler, didn't stay in either the Blue Grass (poly generally requires stamina or extraordinary fitness) and the Derby.

Ya that was his problem
