Zayat has approx 40 horses with Mott (about 25% of his whole stable)....At a volume discount of 80 bucks a day training fees that's $96,000/month coming in or close 1.2 million a year. Bill has a large payroll with staff in NY, FL, and KY. Cigar hasn't raced in almost a dozen years and the Theatrical money is ancillary. So I respectfully disagree that Bill would send Ahmad packing with the economics described above. |
Has the horse scratched yet? It's odd more hasn't been authored about him in the presses, as if they know its coming.

I would guess that more isn't in the press because, first of all, well you know, but mostly because Mott will take the heat as that's his job. That's what trainers have to do. He's never going to say " we're only running because the owner is making me against my wishes. " |

Just because they are second tier horses doesn't mean he doesn't have a pretty serious payroll. Or, perhaps you think people only get paid if the horses are top quality. |

OK, fine, and the person you chose to argue with said he had a large payroll with staff in FL, KY and NY. He didn't say a large payroll in NY....a large payroll in FL.....and a large payroll in KY. He was simply pointing out his enormous overhead, a fact, and the nature of doing business. Frankly, I think he has a better handle on the overall situation involving trainers and owners than you seem to realize. |

This is so sad but I will mark it down to yet another poster posting under the influence. Here's an idea.......improve your reading comprehension before you take any more idiotic cheap shots at me. |
"Bill has a large payroll with staff in NY, FL, and KY."
how does that sentence suddenly mean that mott has a large staff in ky? he has a large payroll WITH staff IN ny, fl, and ky. |
Wow -- what an interesting arguement -- grammer. LOL.
I can't believe what some people argue about. Races, scratches, whatever. Sure, the strategic discussion is great. The real "what went on behind the scenes" is a hypothetical discussion here in this forum (unless something obvious and extreme happens, god forbid, ie: the horse dies, breaks down, etc.). Eric |
