Belmont Horse that scares me...

[Buffymommy]

OK, so the horses who have scared me in the last two tc races have won the race so here is the horse that scares me now....

Jazil.

I don't know what to make of this horse. Is he good or did he get lucky in the derby? hmmmmm....

I am leaning more towards him than Steppy at this point, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Jazil seems to be bred a bit better for this distance than Steppenwolfer, although I think Steppy is a more consistent closer. I will have Bob and John on my tickets for the same reason.

I definately don't think he got lucky in the Derby....watch the replay of The Wood....they can say what they want about the field limping home, but he was moving....I think he and steppenwolfer run 1 and 2....cajun...why Bob and John?

Both he and Jazil are bred almost identically. Both are by Seeking the Gold and both are out of Deputy Minister mares. Although their running style is different, I think they are both bred to go the distance.

Cajun,

I think we should do an ex box with B&J and Jazil. Put Bigdog's horse in for the tri.

i would not be surprised at all to see Jazil win this race,
both he and steppenwolfer should do well here.
they exhibited their ability to trot around for 9f earlier and seem to be able to trot for 12 seconds without end, whereas most start to slow by the 10th furlong. Jazil, imo, could win this,
he has the second on the surface in the wood, and Banjo has a win on the surface in the slop. granted his closing quarter in the wood was slow, but the track was garbage that day.

Not a bad idea actually...

I'm not sure if Landson has decided to enter "That's a Given" though. Where is all the hype coming for Deputy Glitters? His dosage profile sucks for the Belmont. Has he been working really well?

I hear ya, but I can't see B&J getting 12f, not with his pp's. Right now I think this will end up being a two horse race....but that opinion will probably change 10x between now and post time....anxious to see what kind of m/l they set for Jazil and Steppenwolfer.

I wonder why Baffert is entering Bob and John and NOT Point Determined...

High Finance should worry a bunch of people. Could run away with this race.

A horse I could see get up for atleast Show is

Hemingway's Key

Def wont win but the horse looked pretty decent in closing in the Preakness, might be one to included in some bets

I had Hemingway's Key in my tri for the Preakness because of the way he was working. I'm not so certain of how he will do in the Belmont.

[Danzig]

i'll be pulling for deputy glitters, purely based on the fact that edgar is on him, and i want edgar to do well at belmont. he certainly knows how to ride to win @ 12f!

[GenuineRisk]

José, the maintenance guy at my job, likes Sunriver, though he's waiting to see them in the paddock before making his final decision.

(Yeah, okay, but he hit the Derby exacta and was high on Bernardini before the Preakness!)

steppenwolfers been a consistent horse this year but he just hasnt shown hes top quality. had every chance to run down lawyer last time they met@oaklawn and couldnt get it done and was very erratic down the lane that day, just dont think the horse is G1 quality

I dont know about Jazil or Steppewolfer in the Belmont. Deep closer typically do not fare well in the Belmont. I think the best bet would be to do all with all with Sunriver, Bluegrass Cat and Jazil. I don't think Steppenwolfer will even play a factor. I really like Deputy Glitters in this spot. Regardless who you like, it is going to be a great betting race.
