Commentator nominated to Whitney after all

After Commentator made a triumphant return to the races in a 6 1/2-furlong New York-bred stakes last month at Belmont Park, trainer Nick Zito said he wouldn't run the horse back in the Whitney, a race Commentator won last year.

When asked early this week about Commentator's plans, Zito said the horse is nominated to the Whitney.

"Never say never,'' Zito said.

Commentator, a New York-bred son of Distorted Humor, won the Mugatea Stakes on July 12, his first start since last September's Woodward, a race in which Commentator re-aggravated a shin injury. Following that race, Zito mentioned the Forego or the Woodward, both run on Sept. 2, as possible next targets.

Commentator will work over the weekend, after which Zito will sit down with owner Tracy Farmer and make a decision. The two are expected to run Sun King in the Whitney against Flower Alley and Invasor.
