Just because someone doesn't start a zillion horses doesn't mean he's not a top trainer.

Maybe he has chosen to have a smaller stable than in prior years.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who can train Anromedas Hero to earnngs of $800,000+ doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame; he probably deserves to have his own wing.

Knocking Zito is laughable. Great thread.

Zito went from "an average trainer at best" to a "low-life scum" in about 10 minutes.
I'm reporting this to the Italian-American Anti-Defamation League.

Capisce ????

His training abilities are average and as a person he is a low life scum. Just my opinion.

What experience do you have with Zito where you could call him a low life scum. Fact is, FROM ALL ACCOUNTS, from people that I know, that know him and from his interviews, he seems like a heck of a person and a person I would love to chill with at the track......

And, from what I have observed, his horses are always well managed and taken care of.

just an FYI...nowhere will you see that I put out Greeley's Legacy as a betting choice, that is the reason that thread was in the 'paddock' and not 'selections'...and I did not put a dime on him...I merely brought up the fact that he was running after an extended break... the reason I did that is because I have a personal history with the horse, and his career, however bad, is of interest to me. But hey...when you hit the next bar we'll chat again.

Which I think is the point (that you're now the FIFTH person on just this PAGE to make) that we're trying to get through to Euro, is that the stats being used are useless in trying to make a point.

Again, the end of the year will prove once again that Zito is on the downside of his career. And IMO it couldnt come fast enough.
