Analysis: When he broke his maiden at Saratoga I was not able to watch it live, but quickly got a phone call from the other Racing Dude after the race telling me this one was for real.  He’s backed that opinion up with two great stakes victories, and each time he runs he seems to be getting better.  The least flashy of the three Zayat horses breeding wise, but one that certainly shouldn’t be overlooked.  We’ll see if he can take yet another step forward this week in the Grade 3 Withers Stakes at Aqueduct.
