The problem Zito would have with his ride is that riders were avioding the rail all day along--and it didn't appear to be the best place to be, that's for sure, at least from the few horses who decided to race on it during parts of their race.
Sun King has post four---with three quicker horses inside of him---including a rabbit and need-the-lead Half Ours. When you compound that with the fact that all the other riders were out to avoid the rail....and Coa is a rider who likes coming inside of horses when he has an opening....he wasn't a lock to get his circling trip. The other closer in the race--Silver Wagon--yeah Latent Heat crossed over on him and got him a little rank and he had to steady mildly early in the race---but that was FAR from the kind of trouble Gary Stevens was making it out to be in the TVG coverage...I don't think he lost his focus and gave up there--he just ran like an empty horse.

Lawyer Ron haters could see it was gonna be bad with the start. He ran way too hard early to catch back up and was game down the stretch going 4 wide on the turn home. I see nothing wrong with the effort except he still cannot relax at the beginning of the race, thus his start doomed him as he put too much effort in early.
Silver Wagon got piled on early. I bet Corinthian for one reason 8-1 (actually went off at 9-1). He was goofy as usually on the turn home but got straightened out late. This was a tough race for a number of horses due to positioning and bad starts. Silent Name had a horrible start. Corinthinan is still a talented animal who is just too damned quirky to bet on unless you get long odds. So the race set up very badly for the major players imo.

Like you, I am no fan of Coa and would have been much happier with Nakatani (who I also dont really like...tells you how much I like Coa). I didnt hear about the Zito thing...but I certainly wouldnt blame him. The horse was poorly placed.

There is no love for Corinthian.
Plenty of the players in this race got some messed up moments. But this horse enough speed early on to keep contact (yes I know it was not that fast) and he did his usually tricks on the turn but straightened out nicely. Corinthian won the MET mile. Congrats to Jerkens for the will the patience to maintain a very difficult horse. He would drive me nuts.
