Pretentious anyone?

[declansharbor]

Hell of a run by Commentator.
What was the track record at the distance prior to this?

Actually, I've been wondering for awhile now when Zito would come to his senses and realize that this horse cannot be competitive sprinting against top notch sprinters.

His game is mile racing. especially in races devoid of any real speed burners.

I'd like to see him run in races like the Met mile I suppose.

There are very few stakes races at a mile and only about two of them have been run while he was racing sound. One was last year's Met Mile and for him to have made his debut in that race, off almost a 10 month layoff, might have been a questionable choice. The other was the Cigar Mile in 2004 which might have been a good idea but hard to say.

Finding races for this horse is hard....but keeping him sound is obviously harder.

No arguments from me on either point, but still, those races seem perfect for him.

I can't remember, has he ever tried mile races on turf? Turf at all?

It's hard to run him in turf races with his kind of talent. It's just not what you do.

Frankly, it's a tribute to the stable that they have been able to continue to get him to the races, all things considered, and that on any given day he may run extremely well.

Don't know it in hundreds but it was 1:33 4/5.

Judging by the 2nd race he probably gets a number in the 105 range.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

for me it would be the donn........

It's in 16 days. He's a 7YO who just made his 16th start.

Do you need any more reasons?

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

nope.........but he could win..lol

[whodey17]

It was a performace that would be expected. He won an optional claiming race. Don't worry, Mr Zito will continue to put this horse in the wrong spots. He cannot help himself. I really believe Zito has Napoleon's syndrom.

He won for the 10th time in 16 starts.

You're obviously right, as usual, that Nick has put him in one poor spot after another.

What, exactly, are your accomplishments in this game?

One of my favorite lines is "Jumpingjesusonapogostick." It is a line from the song Stuart by The Dead Milkman.

huh??
It doesnt really matter what kind of race it was, he set a track record. You obviously were trying to stir the pot when saying that about Zito. Just wondering how much money you won through training horses? I'm sure it pales in comparison to NZ.
