Paynter

I'm guessing he should have no problem getting responses from his 99,000 followers on Twitter.

But alas, there is no Pretty Horsie Handicap. Gonna need an actual race. I assume it's a matter of finding something low level to knock out the cobwebs and see what they've got, but something about the tone of what Zayat says makes me wonder if he might not want to be more ambitious than an optional claimer.

Paynter making it back to the races is nothing short of a miracle, winning...even crazier. I hope he does.

Justin Zayat just confirmed he's being entered on Friday in Race 7 at Hollywood Park. The farthest I have been able to look ahead is Thursday's card, so no idea what the details are.

ETA: Okay it's a $62,000 7 furlong allowance. Paulick has the details including the field: http://www.paulickreport.com/news/th...ollywood-park/

This horses last 2 races were phenomenal. Hoping he can return to that form.

The Bloodhorse video is of Race 8 instead of Race 7 for some reason. Here's Paynter's win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=WZRXE4hwXwI

So happy for him. Having a healthy Paynter back in top form is gonna make for a fun year, I think.
