The Zito Derby
It’s no secret that trainer Nick Zito is flush with solid Derby prospects. Steve Haskin quotes one rival telling this joke in the latest installment of his Derby Trail column: “I heard that he now plans to conduct his own race, the inaugural Nicholas P. Zito Derby, 1 1/8 miles, Palm Meadows. The only problem is the race is restricted to 10 starters and Nick has 27 horses he wants to run.” Funny.
