Interesting coming from Justin Zayat in the interview:
Mushka - any day dreams she follows in Rags to Riches steps and goes for the Belmont ? I mean Empire Maker, Seeking the Gold, Seattle Slew, are all in her pedigree tracing back to foundation mare Comely Nell, 1 1/2 shouldn't be a problem, she could probably run from AQU to Belmont and still whip most horses.
Justin- Mushka is a maybe for the triple crown trail, we are hoping she is the next Rags to Riches, her move in the Demoiselle was eye popping. But I think the Zayat horse for the Derby would be Alaazo, you should watch his maiden race he is a really good one. Mushka could go there but I would want her to run in the Oaks cause she is much tougher than the other fillies I’ve seen. I like Zayat Stable’s chances for pulling a double Derby weekend for sure.
