These guys are sharp enough to understand that if their trainer is telling them they should run their 6 figure horses for 4k at Suffolk that they aren't very good horses.

Scavs the horses might be ok and perhaps in the hands of a trainer that can focus on them a bit more that might become useful claimers? You have to believe that Zito gave it his best shot but once it became evident that the stock would not be the type that Lapenta cares to campaign perhaps the barn stopped giving their all to get them as perfect as possible.. Not suggesting claiming from Zito is all that bright just that you shouldn't HAVE too retire a 250k 3 year old because one trainer and owner have bigger fish to fry.
