I will take you up on your offer at Saratoga. Meet you at Zito's barn one morning so we can laugh at you.

Thats funny, because Nick is one my great mentors. I talk to his brother daily as well. You laugh at me when his brother is around, and you wont be laughing long!!!!

Great, but I don't need to talk to his brother. Nick works for my wife. He has a few of my wife's 2yr olds. Nick used to have some of my father's horses too but that was when he worked for LJ.

Read your pm that I sent. Only one guy in the world can say anything he wants to me, no matter how bad, that i will stand there and take it. Thats Nick. If you are a friend of his that means no matter what I think of what you say that I have to show you respect. This really sucks!!!!!!!!

Nick just stole a groom that used to work for a trainer we had a few horses with. Zito is good for the game and takes great care of his workers. His luck is turning but my wife said he took the Met loss pretty hard.

Umm, I can't share some of his reactions after losses here. But I'm sure it was tame compared to the Travers when Albert the Great got beat on the last jump. You shoulda seen that one!!!!!!

And he doesnt just take care of the workers. He takes care of everyone. His family, his friends, and anyone at the track who needs help.
He even helps obnoxious know it all guys when they are in their 20's learn about the business even when they are acting stubborn and at times ungrateful. I wish I had a buck for every time he said he was gonna strangle me. We could wheel the pik-6 with it all/all/all/all/all/all !!!!!!
Hes the greatest. I'd dive in front of a car for him.
