Updated Derby 8
1. Pyro: Overshadowed by Florida Derby winner, but still the early Derby favorite. Worked six furlongs in 1:14.60 at Keeneland on Monday. I'm starting to get excited about Pyro -- he's the one Kentucky Derby prospect who has missed no training time and has done everything right so far.
2. Big Truck: Could start in either the Blue Grass or the Holy Bull, or could train up to the Derby, which would be a knock.
3. Big Brown: A little green, a little foot trouble. Can't deny the major talent displayed in the Florida Derby, though.
4. Denis of Cork: Ducks War Pass, ships to Hawthorne for the Illinois Derby in attempt to remain undefeated.
5. Cool Coal Man: Even if War Pass wins the Wood, still like this one for Nick Zito in the Derby.
6. Visionaire: Heads to Blue Grass, meeting with Pyro.
7. King's Silver Sun: Starts next in a loaded Ark Derby.
8. Tomcito: Good show, Peruvian mystery horse.

"(Pyro's) the one Kentucky Derby prospect who has missed no training time and has done everything right so far."
Very true.
