War Pass' stunning loss clouds Derby picture

The combined shocking results Saturday of Big Truck winning the Tampa Bay Derby and overwhelming favorite War Pass finishing last has shaken up the road to the Kentucky Derby.

Louisiana Derby winner Pyro replaces War Pass at No. 1 in this week's Run to the Roses' Top 10. War Pass, the 2-year-old champion who won his first five races in front-running style, dropped to No. 7, just behind new arrival Big Truck.

Circumstances might have prevented War Pass from running his best Saturday at Oldsmar, Fla. He had a fever early in the week, was too eager in the gate and was pinched between horses at the start.

Pyro, meanwhile, is now the prime Derby contender. The colt trained by Steve Asmussen is 2-for-2 this year with both wins punctuated by explosive finishing kicks.

Also: Liberty Bull, the morning favorite at 3-1, powered ahead down the stretch Sunday to win the $600,000 WinStar Derby by two lengths at Sunland Park in Sunland Park, N.M.

Liberty Bull showed his power when he dashed past Bob Baffert-trained Screen to Screen, which finished second, and show horse Ablaze With Spirit.

Liberty Bull paid $8, $4.60 and $2.80 and covered the 1 1-8 miles in 1:49.82.

TENNIS

Roddick loses his cool, match at Indian Wells

Andy Roddick lost his temper -- and his third-round match in the Pacific Life Open at Indian Wells, Calif.

Roddick broke at least two rackets, hit a ball out of the crowded stadium and threw several small temper tantrums in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Tommy Haas.

The loss, only Roddick's third of the year in 18 matches, marked his earliest exit from the ATP Tour event and followed tournament titles at San Jose and Dubai and a quarterfinal effort at Memphis.

Roddick was the biggest upset victim, when the wind that plagued the tournament the previous two days subsided greatly. But No. 12 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile was beaten by Croatia's Mario Ancic, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3.

Australian Open champion Maria Sharapova improved top 16-0 in 2008 with a ragged 7-5, 6-3 win over Eleni Daniilidou of Greece, the No. 26 seed.

No. 7 David Nalbandian and No. 11 Andy Murray and women's No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova all needed three sets to advance to the fourth round.

Also: Todd Martin beat John McEnroe 6-3, 6-1 to win The Oliver Group Champions Cup in Naples, Fla., for his third Champions Series victory.
