Rest in peace City Zip (1998 - 2017)

The son of Carson City and brother to Ghostzapper had been battling chronic foot problems that just became too much this year. He was a very good runner himself, with wins in the G3 Tremont, G2 Sanford, G2 Saratoga Special, G1 Hopeful, Hirsch Jacobs Stakes, G3 Jersey Shore, G2 Amsterdam & Bergen County Stakes.

City Zip became even better as a stallion than he was on the track, while getting even better with age. His most notable runners include Work All Week, Finest City, Catch A Glimpse, Dayatthespa, Finest City, Palace, Alert Bay, Reneesgotzip, Collected, and City Style. He sired champions at all distances and surfaces.

He will be missed.

#SpaStars: City Zip Ch. colt, 1998-present, Carson City – Baby Zip, by Relaunch The two-year-old program at Saratoga is the stuff of legends. It is highlighted by a trio of stakes races, the Sanford, Saratoga Special, and Hopeful. In the summer of 2000, City Zip became just the fourth horse in history to sweep all three. The first two came rather easily, by a combined 5 ¾ lengths. The third was a thriller. With thunder and lightning providing an ominous setting, City Zip didn’t have an easy trip. The colt that trainer Linda Rice described as, “never show[ing] any quit down the lane,” came running anyway, and the $9,000 auction purchase caught the $1.9 million Yonaguska on the line. It was a dead heat. He came back the following summer to run his Spa streak to four, defeating Speightstown, Snow Ridge, and others in a terrific rendition of the Amsterdam. City Zip was finally bested in the King’s Bishop but his influence is still felt at Saratoga. Though he now stands in Kentucky, City Zip entered stud in New York, and his offspring are a frequently found in the Spa winners’ circle. Breeder: Adena Springs Owner: Charles R.

Racing Beat: August 19

I'm going to be deep for a second here: Handicapping is a lot like the weather. Every day can't be sunny, and even if the forecast predicts no rain, there's no guarantee it won't.

Another Dixieland Band bites the dust... er, retires: Simmard was having one hell of a year besting all my choices on the grass (Newsdad, Joinem).

Excuse me while I plan a road trip to/grand equine theft of Lane's End.

Chantal Sutherland gets a 4-day ban from British stewards for overuse of the whip. At least she won oh wait.

Anyone who had a hunch bet in Friday's Saratoga R5, Shakeira/Wholelottashakin, must have enjoyed a nice payoff.

I imagine those people who claim to have paid their way through college from handicapping are either a) college grads from the 80s when college was cheap, b) super-omg-awesome at exotics, c) bullshitting me. I'd feel lucky if I could buy a textbook every semester with my winnings.

The Travers looks likely to be laughably awful this year. Again. Time for a hunch bet on Alpha.

I need to write something about how much I dislike the DRF's handicapping style. To each his own, but I purposely avoid whomever they pick 9 out of 10 times.

Is there anyone out there-- still in training, that is-- that can keep up with Trinniberg for the King's Bishop (I)?

I have a new love on the horizon: the chestnut Big Brown colt Mach Seven is out of a City Zip daughter and is trained by Michael Matz. He was second-last in his debut trailing the whole way at Delaware Park though, so it's a good thing I forgot to bet on that one... ANYWAY, I CALLED HIM FIRST! Looking at his pedigree maybe he'll like turf...

New two-year-old names to add to the watch list: Sonofasamurai (First Samurai x Midnight Deelite, by Afternoon Deelites), a McPeek trainee owned by Susan McPeek, and Orb (Malibu Moon x Lady Liberty, by Unbridled) under the Phipps colors.

What good is suspending a trainer if they can just give directions to their assistant trainers during their "time-out" period? They're still getting credit for training, but are basically getting a vacation off of actual work while doing it.

New favorite horse name? (Yes again): Pink Leninade, a filly by Lemon Drop Kid out of Soviet, by Unbridled.

I hope Questing [GB] gets a good, long career. She's too talented to retire sooner!

Little Mike, you're just too beautiful a sight... I too prefer running all alone up front.

Joel Rosario is a good front rider while Mike Smith does best with those coming from off the pace. Therefore, I think Atigun's a good match for Smith in the Travers...

This daughter of City Zip stands alone in her paddock because her mother, Doo Woppa Do (Medaglia d'Oro - Do Wop) died due to birthing complications
