Lawyer Ron Goes to Pletcher..

My knock on Zito is really his job with Sun King. A poor job placing him and the horse continually loses despite being the best horse at the wire.

Hes a workaholic, and the rationale that because you don't see him at Belmont, that he isn't it, is borderline maniacal.
He practically lives at the barn up here.
His plan a few years back was to train fewer horses, and train up here in Saratoga 6 months a year.
I don't know anyone who can see all the way to Saratoga from Belmont, and I doubt you can either.
His placement with a horse who was beaten a head and nose in the two of the three most presitigious races in NY for older horses, looks pretty good to me.
