Has anyone seen any reports of how he came out the race? The only thing I saw anywhere was this tidbit in the NY Post entitled “How Jocks Saw Race“:

Shaun Bridgmohan (8th, Pyro): “He was squeezed out of the gate, then I found myself on the rail. He was last down the backstretch. We picked up a few horses later, but he had no real excuse.”

That’s it! Given what the little birdie told Blinkers Off in combination with already being promised to Darley, I’m half expecting to see notice of his early retirement.

Seriously, if you’ve seen anything about him, lemme know!

Update:

From Handicapper’s Edge (thanks Jessica!)

PYRO (Pulpit) and Z FORTUNE (Siphon [Brz]) were reported to be doing well on the morning after their disappointing efforts in Kentucky Derby 134. Pyro finished eighth and Z Fortune was 10th for trainer Steve Asmussen, who had finished third in the 2007 Kentucky Derby with eventual Horse of the Year Curlin (Smart Strike).

“They both came out of it well,” said Scott Blasi, the assistant who oversees Asmussen’s Churchill Downs stable. “Everybody came of out it pretty good.”
