And, More Facts

Zito never breezes more than 4f, and the second I'd finished typing those words does Tricky Nick breeze Derby contender Anak Natal 6f in 1:14 2/5 at Palm Meadows. And there's War Pass working 4f seven days after his prior breeze just when I said it's written concrete that Zito breezes ever 9 or 10 days.
Then just to rub more salt in the RR wounds, there's Into Mischief lacking the speed and stamina to catch Georgie Boy in the San Vincente almost to the hour that I'd posted that horse's works were the best.
What's going on here. RR posts one thing and the horses and trainers do another. A few qualifiers in order, perhaps. First, we'll see whether Zito keeps this up, doubt he will, but, perhaps Big Nick has decided upon being this year's Carl Nafzger and breezing once a week. I'll just volunteer that should Zito follow through it will be a huge break with his tradition.
And, had I but realized that Mandella trains Into Mischief, that's all you need to know about that colt. Mandella will win if the race is without any speed which usually is a big if. Mandella trains his horses slow and gets mad when they breeze fast. Watch the DVD.
