“But when I can slow it down and measure the geometry and physics and answer the questions why this one is better than that one, and so on, it completes the deal.” Much of the footage has been made available on his personal YouTube channel, “Larryzapeye.” Zap has used a video recorder since 1998 to study the physical makeup of horses and can be regularly seen with camcorder in tow. A recent Zap video post on Zenyatta, for instance, has been viewed nearly 2,000 times.
Larry Zap, known as “the eye” on the Southern California Thoroughbred scene, has tapped into that technology in a big way, managing to bring a fresh perspective, and the thrill of an insider’s view of the racetrack, to thousands of viewers through YouTube.

Also, take some time to read the latest press release on Larry Zap, below. Here at Santa Anita, we will truly miss Eddie Logan.Ī super video with an up-close look at I Want Revenge working at Santa Anita. Most of all, I will miss his traditional greeting, "Have a lucky day!" Many are familiar with his admonition about the elements at the racetrack that are destructive to leather: salt, brace, alkali and urine. He insisted that I use one of his shoe brushes instead, and that I promise never to use anything but a soft brush to clean my boots. Just a few weeks ago, he spotted me down the breezeway from his stand wiping racetrack dirt off my leather boots with a paper towel. On January 3, he suffered a seizure and stroke, from which he never recovered. Logan appeared in the winner's circle at Santa Anita on December 27 to present the trophy for the stakes that Santa Anita named in his honor. Today flowers adorned his closed and covered shoeshine stand in the breezeway outside Santa Anita's racing office, where a steady line of Saturday racegoers have been pausing to read the notice of his passing, look at the small gallery of photos and news clippings Eddie assembled over the years, and reflect on personal memories of a man who was a link to a bygone era. 25, 1934, passed away at his home in Monrovia, CA early this morning.
