This is a different situation  |
Not sure what to say other then I hope Mr. Zito can get over the pain of your disdain. Nick Zito is what is good about Horse Racing if you don't understand his love for the sport and horses then I pray you never have to diagnose anyone with a serious illness..
I am sure Zito is large enough after a storied career to tell ANY owner include Lapenta or Kinsman a horse isn't going to run when it isn't in the best interest of the horse.. Hind sight is 20/20...One thing I would bet on and that was WP was ready to win yesterday and 100% sound otherwise Zito would have never raced the colt. I don't know Bon lapenta but I assume Zito calls the shots and LaPenta is smart enough to understand that when Zito gives direction he takes it.. They have been partners for a long time and I seriously doubt LaPenta tells Zito when where and how to train his stock even a WP!
