| Background
After over 30 years in Thoroughbred racing,
Nick Zito is a man who needs no introduction among track
enthusiasts around the world. One of only 17 trainers in
history to saddle two or more Kentucky Derby winners, this
New York native’s career includes enough highlights
to fill a novel. Zito’s most recent high-profile triumph
came in the 2004 Belmont Stakes, when his Birdstone beat
out Smarty Jones to take the coveted third jewel of the
Triple Crown.
But Zito’s concern for his charges
goes far beyond the race track. The respected veteran always
keeps an open mind about new methods and new ways to help
his horses maintain optimum health during the grueling training
and racing campaigns that make them winners.
“Some of it’s very simple.
Horses do better when they feel good,” Zito said.
“Attitude is a critical part of what it takes to be
a winning race horse. When horses are in pain and they don’t
feel well, their attitude suffers. Thoroughbred race horses
are under a lot of stress and they have digestive problems
… There’s no doubt it affects their performance.”
The Discovery
In the Fall of 2004, Zito found himself
working with a racing filly who exhibited a variety of problems.
While at Keeneland, he decided to try using SUCCEED™
Digestive Conditioning Program™ to see if it would
help his troubled horse.
“The first thing I noticed was the
filly’s change in attitude,” Zito said. “What
a difference it made. Her energy level and her haircoat
began to improve almost immediately. By November I had every
horse in my barn on SUCCEED.”
After these initial successes, Zito became
more and more convinced of the product’s benefits
for his horses. And in early 2005, he approached Freedom
Health, LLC—the makers of SUCCEED—about the
possibility of putting his legendary name and reputation
behind the product.
“I was so impressed with SUCCEED
that I contacted them,” Zito said.
Results
“I’ve been in the racing industry
for thirty years and I guess I’ve been asked to endorse
almost every kind of horse-related product at one time or
another,” Zito said. “I’ve never wanted
to recommend anything until now. I believe in SUCCEED 100%.
I’ve seen dramatic results in the six months I’ve
used this product. My horses’ haircoats, appetites,
and blood work have all improved. If they feel better, they
run better.”
