Probably a moot point anyways, as he most likely wont run at all until the Whitney. Just thought it would be a possibilty and maybe something Nick is thinking about, thats all. He looked so happy after the race on Friday. I know how much he digs this horse.

I highly doubt he'll run him again before the Whitney, and if he does it'll be in another paid workout. I can't remember (seriously) - you're the big Zito hater, right?

Nope. You got the wrong guy. I like Nick Zito a lot. Met him up here at a local coffee shop I use to work at... served him coffee many a mornings. One of the most pleasant guys you will ever come across.

I agree with you...I dont think he'll run him before the Whitney, but I'm sure he'd be a huge favorite to win both races. I cant think of one horse off the top of my head who would be running in either of these races with any serious speed to make him work.

I think Nick should use the 1 1/4 Suburban for Commentator as a prep for the BC Marathon at 1 3/4. In fact, let me call him right now.

Great idea!

If Levine runs Driven by Success (who isn't much horse anyway) it will hinder Commentator's chances. Solar Flare, the 2008 Suburban favorite, is probably headed to the Suburban after earning a 111 Beyer figure in his comeback win.

Driven By Success is pointed for the Tom Fool.

Levine mentioned the Whitney after the Tom Fool in the article about Kip Deville last week.

Would that be bad for Commentator?

You think Commentator could go toe to toe with a stretching out Driven by Success and stay? I recognize Commentator's accomplishments and his affinity for Saratoga but I'd have a hard time believing he could win that type of race.
