I disagree. Z Humor has been very well-spotted and managed this year IMO.

Lear's Princess beat Rags to Riches in the Gazelle so she did "figure" in the BC as long as she could handle the mud. High Finance was spotted a bit agressively, IMO. I don't know of any partnership that allows shareholders to decide on placement.


Zayat has had some nice prospects fizzle. How'd that Maimonides work out? Z Fortune should have stayed in NY (or returned after not lighting things up in the Derby preps.) He was a NY bred who could have been useful. I like Premium Wine but he never quite seems to get there. Was (is) J Be K theirs? He's a nice sprinter, a useful type but not exactly championship caliber.

They spent alot of money for alot of horses. They'd have been better off with more focus and less of a wide net approach.

Where is Z Fortune by the way? He was useful and could have done some damage within those NY bred stakes races, and Grade 2/3 races....

He was last seen running 7th in the Iowa Derby, then 8th in the West Virginia Derby. Hopefully he's getting a freshening.
