It's hard to run him in turf races with his kind of talent. It's just not what you do.

Frankly, it's a tribute to the stable that they have been able to continue to get him to the races, all things considered, and that on any given day he may run extremely well.

One of my favorite lines is "Jumpingjesusonapogostick." It is a line from the song Stuart by The Dead Milkman.

Wow oh oh, taking retards to the zoo.

I have to give credit to Steve (Byk) on Jesus tap dancing.

Track records fall like the stock market at Gulfstream. Nothing really to get all excited over.

Why not? Heck, try to find a grass course that favors speed, I could see him being really tough!

Better than going in a 6f race against quicker horses where he has little hope, or going in a ybred race for very little money.

While we're talking about Zito, does anyone know what ever happened to He's Solid Gold, the Seeking The Gold half-brother to High Fly who looked good breaking his maiden this fall in his second lifetime start? I put him in my stable mail, and he has yet to have a published work since his maiden win.

Yes, that is a good one.

Good question... I noticed the same thing the other day. I thought I heard he had bucked his shins or something of that sort, but thought he was over that. :confused:

For a horse to overcome past maladies time and time again, it sure is something to get excited over.

for someone who races sore horses.. lmfao..he sure looked bad today.......:eek:

Now that was funny.

I have to clarify that one usually has a Napoleon complex, not Napoleon syndrome. It's not the rhino virus, it's a state of mind.

Yeah, what he said.

I'd be thinking Carter at AQU. This horse needs alot of time and 7f is a great game for him. The Donn is 16 days is a bit of a stretch, no matter how weak it comes up.
I'd like to see this horse and Chatain in the Met Mile. I can dream...

doesnt Commentator always come off the layoff and always run huge in a allowance optional or minor stakes type race?? i seem to remember him always running his best races with that scenario.

a performance like that and he might be done for a while. All his big efforts knocked him out. I hope this isn't the case this time but today was pretty large in the effort department (even though it looked really easy). Hopefully he came back sound so we can see another performance like that.

It would be great to see Chatain have a full year. I'm a huge fan as well. I did read that Angel Penna plans to keep him sprinting which was great news. No 1 1/8 races for him.

Zito is a guy whos horses often run well below expectations when he runs them on the turf - and he doesn't go to the turf with his horses as often as others do.

Something I found odd about Commentator when I looked at his pedigree - in search of grass breeding.....is that his mother Outsource was an unraced $14,000 yearling who was foaled in 1998.

Commentator, her first foal, was foaled in March of 2001. Seems like Distorted Humor got his dam when she was a early 2-year-old.

she was underage! :eek: :eek:
