Default Zayat yanks Cali colts out

Testy Ahmed Zayat takes Massive Drama, Maimonides and J Be K, and another, from Baffert to get out of California.. Going to Asmussen & Mott...

From Santa Anita press notes:

It was Massive Drama's last race out of Baffert's stable. Owner Ahmed Zayat has told Baffert he will be moving the colt and three others to Steve Asmussen and/or Bill Mott.

Baffert also was training Triple Crown candidates Maimonides, a $4.6 million son of 2002 champion 2-year-old colt Vindication, and J Be K, a $350,000 son of Silver Deputy. Zayat owns two other top 3-year-olds: Z Fortune and Z Humor.

"You never want to lose horses, but he's frustrated with California," Baffert said. "We've all suffered this winter with the missed days."
