Lotta people here hate Jazil. He's a gamer and his Belmont was stronger than people give him credit for.

Maybe I'm just extra hopeful because I love the horse, but I don't think the two preps in allowances are that much of a worry. He probably needed to get out of the barn and there are not too many stakes suited to him this time of the year. They've stated the Gulfstream race (with a back-up in Dubai should Invasor not make it) for months now. I think Shadwell is pretty keen to know this is a horse who is going to need things to go just right for him (in both pace & distance) to be standing in the winner's circle again.
