In the case of the weakened War Pass we know somebody screwed up. Either Zito or La Penta or both. We also know for sure that horse racing continues to deceive the public by not disclosing health issues surrounding the entrants to a race.

There are no required health reports on any entrant to any race. War Pass was not healthy or they just threw the race.

No I just mentioned it's one or the other. If War Pass was healthy then there is no explanation for his race other than the fix. Clearly War Pass was weakened. He was not himself prolly due to the fever.

After all, he was not in bad position, 3rd down the backstretch. So a healthy War Pass was not racing yesterday.

As much as I'm enjoying this, it probably should stop.

i have no idea, that's hilarious.

i could see someone saying zito didn't know what he was doing just based on having 1/4th of the field one year, and not hitting the board. but his career would show you differently, since he has won the derby in the past. i would imagine he knows what he's doing.
i can only imagine the scathing posts if it was dwl training war pass and this had happened.

somehow tho, i don't think bill mott, matz, shug, or any number of trainers would get the grief nick is getting had they been involved with this horse.
i also think zito is taking a lot of heat about this horse, because his run yesterday was so out of the norm for him. it can't have just been the horse, so what else could it be but the trainer? i also remember the amount of posts calling 'bullsh!t' when afleet alex had his lung infection and ran poorly. ooops...
