Zito at Toga
 
Well 5 for 53 isnt too bad (9%). But he is 5th in money with $767,862.00. Just goes to show that you do not need to win in this game to make money.

I kind of disagree with what you're saying. . . You may not need to win, but the guys who finish last aren't exactly getting rich. . .

Borel is another example. 9 wins nearly $2 million in purse money. Not a bad 6 weeks.

Yeah, it's pretty sickening isn't it?

Not obsessed, just trying to back up my prediction from a couple of years ago when everyone called me crazy.

However, there is a fine line between quality of wins and the ones that you do win.

I don't understand what point people are trying to make. Borel has earned all that money from WINNING big races. . . It sounds like the only reason for this thread is some kind of anti-Zito thing. . .

Yep.

I can't stand Ziti. Now Penne is excellent.

Penne > Ziti.

My prediciton was the Zito was going to earn less that $4mm this year and that he was going to keep declining as a trainer in all major statistcial categories.

Your disdain for Zito on a personal level should have no bearing on what he does professionally.

Of course it is an anti-Zito thing. It doesnt take a genius to figure that out. But I made a prediction and I am backing my prediction up with numbers.

The two are unrelated. My prediciton was based on declining numbers from the top trainers of the 1990's. Do I enjoy that he is having a so so year--YES. But that is just topping on the ice cream.

The sickening aspect of this is that your only concentration is on Nick Zito. What about the other trainers having a so-so year? Your obsession with Zito is a tad bit ridiculous.

whodey17 08-30-2007 12:46 PM

I also reported on Baffert and Lukas (2 of the other top trainers in the 90's). But I did not make predicitons about them.

Imagine that, numbers declining....other interests? Have any info to back up the number of head he has now compared to then? Nobody cares but you.....why don't you PM yourself?:rolleyes:

02-525
03-507
04-449
05-459
06-422
07-312- so far.

These are the number of starters. Again, on the decline. Once again proving my prediciton that he is a declining trainer.
