My Top Derby Choice (Erik Scheponik)

Pyro -  The one horse that combines the pedigree, running style, and overall talent to win this race and we get him at a nice price due to his flop on the artificial stuff in the Blue Grass Stakes.  Distance should not be a problem, and he was so good before the Blue Grass that you simply have to toss the race.  He is one of only 6 horses in this race with a triple digit Beyer in a route, and one of only 3 with two triple digit Beyers.  The other two, Big Brown (not enough seasoning at 5-2), and Gayego (may not get distance) are in the 19th and 20th posts.  Pyro is a closer that can come from mid-pack, but also has the huge late kick needed to win the Derby if he falls further behind than that.  He’ll have a pace to run at.    Playing to win and place, and in exactas.
