The Fat Man is just issuing a double bind here while trying to play both sides of the fence at the same time.
Zenyatta shouldn't run against Rail Trip because he's not important and beating him does nothing for her in regards to Horse Of The Year. At the same time, she shouldn't run against Rail Trip because he makes the Hollywood Gold Cup too ambitious a spot for her on the road (Easy Street?) towards HOY.
Maybe we should call him "The Fat Man With No Name" with all the spaghetti western posturing he does around here.
Better get a few coffins ready...
