Nick Zito Quotations

We're just going to keep our options open. He's going to run somewhere at the meet. Never say, 'Never'. When that horse is right, he runs with anybody.

Since he's come back to Kentucky, he's been super. I think he's rising up at the right time.

I watched Spectacular Bid break his maiden (27) years ago, and he reminded me of him.

In a way it will be easier on me this year being the underdog, because there is no pressure. It's a small line from here when looking ahead to the Kentucky Derby. Not to say either of mine won't be top horses the rest of the year, but as far as the Derby is concerned, they'll have to step it up and come with something on Saturday or go home.

I guess it's the law of averages. We had the reputation for getting 3-year-olds ready and everyone kept rooting for us but we never broke through.

Sometimes running a rabbit works, sometimes it backfires. People have been using rabbits for hundreds of years. The rabbit has to be a good horse because they might not necessarily be able to do the job.

She should like getting back to Belmont. She's a quality filly and she never runs a bad race. She hit the side of the gate coming out in the Test and we've schooled her a bunch of times, so I think she'll be different.

We've had high hopes for our horse all year. We'll see how he does Saturday. If he's good enough, he's good enough. I would like to get there with him.

Hopefully, if he can duplicate the Wood Memorial, you'll see what kind of horse he is.

He tried to save some ground, and a horse stopped in front of him. He actually was better off making a big, sweeping move.
