I wasn't going to subject Blackthroatedwind to this (although the Zito comment is pretty funny) but since the thread has already been started......

Sir Greeley sizzles in prep

Sir Greeley, preparing for the Grade 3, $100,000 Deputy Minister Handicap on Saturday at Gulfstream Park, worked three furlongs in 34 seconds on Tuesday morning at Palm Meadows, the best time of 16 at the distance.

His rivals in the 6 1/2-furlong race are expected to include High Finance, Kelly's Landing, Paradise Dancer, and Yes Yes Yes.

The Deputy Minister is one of the supporting features on a card that is topped by the Grade 1 Donn Handicap for older horses, and the Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes and Grade 2 Swale Stakes for 3-year-olds.

The Donn will be headed by Invasor, who last week was named the 2006 Horse of the Year. His challengers include Hesanoldsalt, who was disqualified from a victory at Gulfstream earlier in the meeting in a money allowance race.

How does his trainer, Nick Zito, feel about going up against the Horse of the Year?

"I feel good," Zito said. "I don't know how Hesanoldsalt feels, but I feel good. I didn't ask Hesanoldsalt yet."
