#1 PYRO - Finished very strong in March 31 work
(View the March 31, 2008 workout video) as he continues his preparations for the April 12 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes. Pyro worked six furlongs in 1:14³ breezing at Keeneland. Exercise rider Dominic Terry was aboard Pyro, who worked in company with stablemate Sonoma Cat. Pyro’s jockey, Shaun Bridgmohan, was on Sonoma Cat. The duo raced as a team, hitting the wire together with Pyro on the inside. “I got him galloping out in 1:27³ and the last five-eighths in 1:00⁴,” said assistant trainer Scott Blasi, who supervised the move for trainer Steve Asmussen, who was in Dallas on Monday. Keeneland clockers caught the pair going :23⁰ seconds flat for the final quarter and :11¹
for the last eighth.
