Zito's MAgic if you can't beat them get them to beat themselves. A horse that small lasting as long as he did is amazing 2:00 AT 1 1/4 would win any shorter race. The bigger horses like RHT didn't stand a chance and Zito going in said he was going for second. I think even he was surprised that Smarty faded too. Left Zito with an impressive Kennel 1st and 3rd to add to his 5 of 11 now 12 second place finishes in the triple crown chases.


As for the 5 Million down the drain I don't think so - more like an incentive bonus that was just out of reach. Not to mention a good hype job that cost the american public a lot more than the 5 mil in chump change but VISA lives on interest, hidden charges, late fees, overlimit fees and our money anyways they can afford the hype.
