Quote:
Those other 5 horses do represent 5 different owners that are well established with their respective trainers in Zayat, Shah, WinStar, Let's Go and Steve Marshall (Black Rock). And to be fair, you're conveniently leaving out the next 3 choices in Upstart (18-1), Int'l Star (18-1) and Prospect Park (17-1), trained/owned by veteran horseman connections in Violette/Evans, Maker/Ramsey and Sise/Wygod. No one is a bigger critic of the concentration of talent in too few hands, but bigger outfits are going to put potential Classic horses (read stallion prospects) in the hands of Pletcher and Baffert the same way they were being put in the hands of Zito and Lukas.
