- War Pass 100% Saturday
Saying he was in shock over his colt's stunning defeat at 1-20 in the Tampa Bay Derby on Saturday, owner Robert LaPenta took back his statement about War Pass suffering a fever days before the race. "There is one thing I can guarantee you -- going into the race, there was nothing wrong with that horse" (Blood-Horse). Glad that's been cleared up. Now, about beefing up disclosure rules ...

I don't want to think Robert LaPenta's a creep, mostly because I like Zito so much, but he has not done himself any favors this week. The "disclosure" of the fever post-race smacked of both dishonesty and excuse-making (paradoxically and simultaneously!), and now this frantic back-pedalling does the same all over again.
Can you hear Zito's voice? "Listen, Bob, just shut up, OK? I'll do the talking, OK? Just keep your mouth shut, OK?"
