Both have pulled in nearly $1,400,000. Not bad. They aren't great horses but they do win when the big money is on the line. Both have been very well placed.

I actually like Pyro too, but it does appear that the others have caught up to him. He's okay, not as good as some, including myself thought.

I just dont get this horse, his rep seems to be made up from 2 LD's races this spring and since he just has been super average. There are alot of Pyro's every year yet this one seems to get alot of press.

I think he was revisiting last winter, prior to the Blue Grass, when he was all the rage on here despite his low speed figures. Even still, he somehow went off favored (albeit lukewarm) in the Travers despite blah efforts in the Northern Dancer and Jim Dandy.

Cue King Glorious and his "pig" comment...

The Visionaire phone is ringing off the hook.



Shocker that you are the one causing it.



By the way....still waiting for Morty's call.

you know horses like the tin man didn't show what they could do until they were given a chance to mature.

the problem is more of a "what have you done lately" attitude throughout.

what about trying him on the turf?
