Okay I admit it.....I was a Jazil basher. People were so excited about him over on the ESPN board going into the Derby, that I probably made 8 - 10 posts over there in which I dismissed his Wood, and basically said I gave the horse no shot. If I had seen people picking him in the Belmont I probably would have done the same thing. I basically thought this guy was just a bad version of Steppenwolfer, and it isn't like Steppenwolfer is the next Unbrdled either.
So I'll admit....I was FLAT WRONG. People will say this was a weak G1 field, and that may be true, but Bluegrass Cat, Sunriver, and Steppenwolfer are all nice horses and he beat them all. To anyone that picked him I say congrats, and good job seeing something that I apparently missed.
