JAZIL....Most Overrated horse in the history of horse racing....

[slotdirt]

What was wrong with last year's field? You had the second and third place Derby horses in Bluegrass Cat and Steppenwolfer, other graded stakes winners in Bob and John, Deputy Glitters, and Sunriver, and stakes performers in Hemingway's Key, Sacred Light, and Platinum Couple. That's a legit 3YO GI field IMO.

He's a smart looking horse; in fact, he looks smarter than most people I know (including myself).

Fortunately, I have a 2:00 meeting scheduled in Aventura with nothing after.

What to do... what to do.

This thread really is astounding. The poster found it necessary to start a whole new thread after making a casual mention in another thread. Why?

The first thing you need to be overrated is fanfare. Jazil doesn't have any. He is ranked 8th in Watchmaker Watch for older horses, with horses in front of him like Showing Up, Surf Cat, and Sun King.

The poster attacks the quality of the Belmont field. Bluegrass Cat happened to exit that race and run pretty nicely at Monmouth. Sunriver was also a very useful horse who suffered a serious injury in the Jim Dandy. Steppenwolfer is no slouch, but the bottom line is Jazil beat everyone who showed up for the Belmont. He also outfinished 15 horses in the Derby, which is no small feat, especially making an inside move in a field of 20.

I don't know the purpose of PointGiven1985's one-man crusade against Jazil, but to dismiss him and even come close to saying Corinthian is a much better horse is absolute lunacy. You want to talk about overrated, how about Corinthian.

Good luck to those wagering today and I can guarantee you now I am rooting for Jazil even more.
