Zito recalled the days when horses ran every couple of weeks. "Today, there's no way you can do that," he said. "A lot has to do with the structure of the modern horse. In the last seven years, I've seen the breed changing." Zito went on, "We've done a terrible job. We have debilitated the breed. I don't know if it's the sale, the speed, the breed or the market. Whatever it is, we have done a terrible job. We just don't have the same breed of horse we used to have."
I used to have some respect for Zito, not anymore. If "we've done a terrible job", then Zito is a huge part of the problem. He runs as many, or more horses in the Triple Crown chase as anyone. What a hypocrite. He and Lukas run tons of two and three year olds every year. Now he's complaining. Hey Zito... look at Bill Mott...how many times does he run in TC races? Almost never. He lets his horses develop. You complain about the strength of the breed yet I seem to remember you running FIVE horses in the Derby last year. Hypocrite.
You are the trainer...If the horse can't run every couple of weeks, don't run the horse every couple of weeks.
