Default Zayat trouble
I have read on another board that Zayat is seriously considering running both Z Humor and Massive Drama in the Derby. As both have the earnings to do so, this could be very bad news for Visoinaire, Bob Blackjack, Dennis of Cork, and Big Truck.

Someone will talk him out of it, although, personally, I would love it, because it again dwindles my choices even more and more.....

Not entirely correct or wrong. Romans explained that Halo Najib is the targeted Derby horse. But, Massive Drama could possibly run if Halo Najib were to get pushed out on earnings.

Halo Najib and Massive Drama, two horses solidly entrenched on my auto-toss list should they run in the derby.

halo is the worst of the 2 in my opinion, but they both have to be throw outs, even to run 1-2-3-4, i doubt either of them can do anything

He has the semi-legit Z Fortune solidly in the field, no? I try not to root against guys like Zayat, who actually made his own money rather than being born into petrodollars, but he has a MASSIVE ego and it's frustrating to watch him micromanage his stock whereas if he left the choices up to the trainer he'd be doing far better (aka like he's done with his crack sprinter J Be K.)
