Zito is a great trainer and exudes class and is respectful of others.
The other guy is a mouthy blowhard with no class.
A few years back when Zito had 5 starters in the derby, and all expectations and pressure where on him. Immediately after the race when he finished off the board with all horses, the media were all right in his face for interviews of course, and I'll never forget how he handled it. He didn't squirm or make excuses or blame anyone or duck any questions. He made himself available at a moment that had to be a huge personal disappointment and answered the questions forthrightly.
contrast that to Saturday with a sweaty guy quickly running off "don't even think about it" after mouthing off to the world for weeks that the race was guaranteed.
