Regarding Wide, I did not see it. I\'ll review the race later. I thought Pyro ran the rail with Blackberry Road outside of him. I thought I remember Pyro getting pinned down inside and having to wait for the hole to clear in the stretch. I was watching him pretty closely because I needed him beat to win.
Initially, I was somewhat impressed with what happened in the stretch. The more I factored the other horses (In the Oaks as well) the less impressed I was.
TGraph will be the arbiter, but I made it no better than a 3 and I\'m not sure it was even that good.
Some will say he was blocked and lost time. Maybe about a length worth, but I factored it a wash on the saved ground. If he starts, I\'m getting the feeling the Derby trip could be an ordeal for this one.
Depending on the track, he could win the Bluegrass and thus go off exceedingly short in the Derby.
