Monterey Jazz's 118 was basically earned in the same fashion that Commentator's 119 was earlier in the year.

He was uncontested on a clear lead through a very soft opening 1/4 mile. 4K claimers in the very next race on the card would post a faster opening quarter fraction at the same distance.

Monterey Jazz deserves some credit for the tremendously visually impressive nature of the win - a very cut and dry 118 Beyer with the rider up in the saddle "looking like a jump rider" the entire length of the stretch - but when the 1st quarter was posted... you basically expect something gigantic from him with the tactical position he was in.

Even with the trip and all - running five furlongs in 58 flat from the 3/4 pole to the 1/8th pole is something pretty remarkable in a two-turn route over a track that isn't especially fast.

Early favorite for the Breeders Cup Dirt/Sythetic [almost] Mile.

The connections of Monterey Jazz could easily steal another large purse by taking the Lone Star Park Handicap on Memorial Day ($400,000) but it's only a Grade 3. I hope he goes to the Met Mile because jcs11204 says that Commentator will run them all off their feet and prognostication is that guy's middle name.

Didn't bet the race but that was a good price on this horse. I thought the Super wasn't all that tough to catch ... $11k for a buck. In Summ ran awful.

The BCs' extensive prerace monitoring may be the great equalizer for Lookinforthesecret
