Roundup FROM PAGE 1 He's been training for Za- yat since 2007, becom- ing close friends while en- during the sport's ups and downs together. They ex- change calls or text mes- sages "like 10 times a day," Zayat said. "We know the game. It changes every second and every time he calls me my heart sinks for 30 seconds," the owner said, knowing it could be bad news about his horses. Zayat took his first crack at the Derby in 2008, when Z Fortune finished 10th and Z Humor was 14th. Now 52, he retired 10 years ago, having sold his beer distributorship to Heineken for $280 million and plowed the proceeds into buying more horses. His love of the sport is a family affair, with Justin, one of his four children, acting as racing manager for Zayat Stables. "He has a lot of pas- sion," Baffert said. "The clients that have a lot of passion, those are the best clients because they really want to do well. They invest a lot of time along with money. It's like owning their own team. They're very competitive, which is good. It's a train- er's dream to have clients like that." The sport has taught the ultra-competitive Za- yat a tough lesson: You may win at a 25 percent clip, but 75 percent of the time you're going to lose. "The first orientation is getting adjusted to being competitive and yet need- ing to turn the page and move on." Baffert is in the un- usual position of training the probable favorite and second choice this year. He's got American Phar- oah for Zayat, who lives in Teaneck, New Jersey, and undefeated Dortmund for India-born owner Kaleem Shah. "Hope for a dead-heat," the white-haired trainer joked. Zayat has a close-up view of American Phar- oah's biggest rival every time he visits his colt at Baffert's barn. Dortmund is housed in a nearby stall. "I have tremendous re- spect for Dortmund, I have tremendous appreciation for Mr. Shah," Zayat said. "He's put a lot of money into the game. He's also passionate. If it's not go- ing to be me (winning), it's going to be someone else." Derby FROM PAGE 1 entering Monday night's game in Portland. Kerr said the biggest challenge is striking a bal- ance between rest and rhythm, and he has more experience than most rookie coaches on this matter. He routinely re- ceived extended time off between rounds during his days playing alongside Michael Jordan on the Chi- cago Bulls and under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. Kerr plans to work his players in practice to avoid rust. The Warriors went through a light practice Monday, will scrimmage against each other Tuesday, take Wednesday off and be- gin focusing on their sec- ond-round opponent when they reconvene Thursday. "Anytime you have a weeklong break, it means you're still in the playoffs and it means you proba- bly just handled your busi- ness pretty well," Kerr said. "And that's how I look at it." It's the longest layoff be- tween games since the All- Star break in mid-Febru- ary, though the Warriors are as healthy as any team can hope at this time. Re- serve forward David Lee is returning from a strained lower back that kept him out of the first round, Green said his sore left an- kle is fine and Curry is ex- pected at Tuesday practice after dealing with a per- sonal issue. The Warriors believe the time off might do more good mentally. They had just two practice days be- tween the end of the reg- ular season and Game 1 against the Pelicans and haven't had a moment to relax or recharge. "I think it helps all of us," Thompson said. "I think it gives us kind of like a re- set button and makes us have those anxious feel- ings again like we did go- ing into Round 1. I think we'll all be really excited come Friday and Saturday." Warriors FROM PAGE 1 time trainer. The eight-di- vision world champion has trained fiercely to fight 12 rounds of nonstop offense against the pre-eminent defensive fighter of his gen- eration. "I'm not really look- ing for a knockout," Pac- quiao said. "We're not looking only for a knock- out, but for throwing a lot of punches, and also mak- ing sure that every round, we're ahead on points." Pacquiao has built his remarkable career on oth- erworldly quickness and old-fashioned volume punching, both outma- neuvering and outworking nearly all of his opponents over the past 10 years. He has never faced a fighter with Mayweather's skills in defense and counter- punching, but Roach be- lieves Mayweather has never dealt with an oppo- nent as relentless as the southpaw Filipino con- gressman. "Our volume of com- binations is much higher than May weather's," Roach said. "Mayweather waits for you to finish your combination and throws back with the big right hand or the check hook, and we're not going to be there for that. We're going to be in and out, and I plan on Manny outscoring him that way." Boxing FROM PAGE 1 JAE C. HONG — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Boxer Manny Pacquiao works out near a Philippines flag at Wild Card Boxing Club Monday in Los Angeles. By Jerry McDonald BayAreaNewsGroup ALAMEDA Much of the in- trigue at the top of the first round Thursday night in the NFL draft has to do with a player the Raiders have no intention of taking. Whether the Raiders make the long-speculated selection of a playmaking wide receiver or instead go with another premier de- fender might depend on the fate of Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota. Key figures in the drama whose destinations could be determined by Mariota include Alabama wide re- ceiver Amari Cooper, West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White, USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams and Florida edge rusher Dante Fowler. Raiders general man- ager Reggie McKenzie was uninterested in conceding the "Mariota Factor" at a recent news conference, saying, "There's so much talk in the media about who wants this player, who wants that player. We don't worry ourselves about who is going No. 1 or No. 2 un- less we want to move up."
