While I am looking forward to see him try the turf, I really question how well he might do. Turf racing usually involves cruising along, finding a good position, and then a big sprint in the final stretch. Horses that do well on turf have the ability to quicken substantially in the stretch. Jazil seems to me more of a grinder, more one-paced.

I could be wrong so we'll see. I guess I like the fact that they're trying something different with him.
