Has Jazil even worked since going to the sidelines? I wouldn't take 400-1 on him. Bright One's stakes win was in W. Virginia so he better be 75-1 for me. Dylan Thomas and Schirrocco are unproven on dirt and also would need to be far higher for me to bite. I'm no fan of G2 level 3yo's moving up into G1 company vs. older but if Strong Contender is truly developing into the horse many thought he could be...hmmm. Three year olds have done OK in the Classic. Often the "big name 3yo" gets beaten in the Classic by a lesser light. Consider proud Truth, Concern, Cat Thief and Tiznow. Even Unbridled had gone winless since the Derby and was looking like a flukey Derby winner by late fall.
