Separate from Thorn Song, Zayat has given him a lot of animals with good early speed that you can pretty much assume will quit and will not develop stamina.

Mitchell is a good move up trainer. You get the impression he has his runners pain-free.
This is devoid of anything bordering on an accurate interpretation of the dynamic involved between 'Team Zayat' and the unfortunate horse trainers that work for them.

Romans runs a folding horse.


Zayat gives the appearance that he gets fleeced at the sales, and has had enough publicized and private missteps that further make him look incompetent.

Another guy of the BYK Shytt list huh? I guess anybody who is new to the game and spends 200plus mil is automatically on it?

BTW none of the unfortunate horse trainers had a gun to their head to take millions in high profile stock.. Remember they had a choice and hence the "dynamic" was something that they should have dealt with in advance.

Kind of funny that these two teamed up to win with the very hard to figure Eaton's Gift yesterday in the Smile Sprint. Going away present I guess.

The trainers that deal with Zayat are actually at the mercy of his stable manager. Zayat himself is a very nice guy who seems to really enjoy the game.

Kinda of off topic but Zayat had one claimed today at Pleasanton (Benjamin Z in the 6th) - Zayat bought the horse for $950,000 and lost it today in a $8,000 claiming race - it was claimed by Ellen Jackson, a trainer/breeder who will probably turn him to stud sooner rather than later.
