Betting against Jazil is one of those " I'm a wiseguy " situations. He certainly isn't a great bet in this situation but he can more certainly win. I think a real wiseguy doesn't underestimate him.

My morning line is 8/5. I think he's up against it on the inner the way it's been playing but he does have a win over the strip, McLaughlin is certainly quality off the layoff, and the field is pretty weak.

I think the wiseguys might actually UNDERbet him in this situation.

Would some please post how the little guy does...I hate being at work.

I know you think he totally sucks, but would you be kind enough in humoring me if you see the race?

He will trail early, Throat is right on that one.
Sightseek, are you in the Alb/Sar area? I might be going to AQU a few more times over the winter, let me know if you want to tag along.

Yes and thanks, we're probably not going down until the Wood Memorial though.

I don't think he totally sucks, I like him, he just has to run faster to compete with top horses this year. It's certainly possible.

I don't know how much it's worth, but his workouts seem to be quicker this year. Maybe the time off allowed him to develop a bit.

M/L 2/5 is unreal. Looks as the pick 3 is the play
