Great Article on Zinger's Former Trainer Justin Evans and Son

Once upon a time, we claimed back a homebred who was losing all his races and coming in dead last in some. People said he was "hopeless."

He went to trainer Justin Evans, who worked with him for about six weeks. When he was finally ready to be entered in a race, we drove to Farmington, NM to see him run, not really expecting a lot.

Well...

He won that race. 

And the next. And the next.

In fact, he won four of his first five races with Justin as his trainer, then came back again with another big win at Sunland Park (we've posted the video of that one on this site).

Since that time, Justin has been the leading trainer at just about every track where he's trained. He's currently at Emerald Downs near Seattle, and this article was in the local newspaper about Justin and his son, Austin, who's following in his dad's footsteps.

I think they're going to find that Derby horse one day. :)
