Mott-Zayat appear officially done
 

Recent speculation had the prominent owner-trainer pair splitting, but were belied by some Zayat horses continuing to be saddled by Mott. However, as of yesterday, it now appears that the pair are officially out-of-business together..

as long as he doesn't give them to Romans.

I wonder how this is playing on Facebook. Are people choosing sides?

Zayats crew is boarderline embarrassing. The way the horses are bought, spotted, campaigned, its a complete joke. Youd be hardpressed to find a group that has more highdollar busts than Zayat

Mott refuses to dope for Zayat, so he gets canned.

Let me guess......you got this information from Facebook?

Maybe they don't pay as much or have as many horses but the Klavarich crew probably is right up there for incompetence when it comes to picking horses. Someone pays 1/20th what they pay for horses would probably get comparable results.

No doubt about it Klavarich is in the same breath.

Agree... been saying this for a while.


Klaravich has had some success at least along the way. What has Zayat done? His best horse is a turf miler that requires a perfect trip to even be competitive. His 2nd best horse is a sprinter that folds under pressure. The rest of horses just plain suck for the money he spends.

They are both very brutal. They deserve what they get, which isnt much

ha ha ha ha ha....Andy, one of your best one's yet.

Simple, yet hilarious.

Seth Klarman's greatest success, dollar for dollar, came when Gary Sciacca trained his horses.

Klaravich sure waited for the absolute peak time to jump on the T. Pletcher bandwagon.

I remember he had Subordination with Sciacca, he was a pretty low purchase price, right?

Zayat Stables certainly places their horses aggressively.

andy - what about west point , i always felt that they were aggressive as well

High Finance was never the same after the Belmont and Lear's Princess probably should not have run in the BC

as you know , i do know an owner , and he tells me he has no say in what races the horses go to , it's pretty much up to mgmt

I think they paid $50,000 or maybe $70,000...
