True. My point was that I just don't understand what it was about Jazil that you liked so much. As I said, I am not trying to convince you that you are wrong for liking the horse. That wouldn't make any sense. I have liked and followed $10,000 claimers. Usually though, those horses were either horses I liked because of their ability to win, or their ability to win money for me. And I get that it doesn't ALWAYS have to be about winning. I have really enjoyed watching and cheering on Sumwon this year, but that is because I felt I had at least some connection with the people involved with her.
I guess because I never saw anything in Jazil that I liked personally, I am just a little curious about what it was that you did see.
