I dont think SNS was compromised the slightest bit by his post. Ramon did a great job and he had a shot to win, he even looked like a winner turning for home. Excuses for horses who are overbet are getting old.

Jazil could break from any hole and still be where hes going to be, dead last for the majority of the race.

I completely disagree. While Dominguez did a good job under the circumstances, five or six wide on the first turn is a huge disadvantage, and certainly at least contributed to Sweetnorthernsaint's defeat.

I understand what you're saying, but how to you explain the stat that only one horse in the past 3 years has won from the 10 post or farther outside? (not my stat, read it on drf.com) are they all overbet favorites?

What a great name for a horse. The name alone makes me want to bet on her.

Jazil should crush that field -- if he doesn't then retire him.

Running style combined with GP makes him no cinch. While he should crush the field can easily see him not win. Corinthian does not intrigue me at all and agree Doc Cheney has had too many chances. Prado on King of Jazz possibly? Is he in Nafzger barn now or Zito?

I guess anybody can change their mind(so I won't call it a lie,) but I am pretty sure this trainer said he would never bring Jazil to this track again.Said he just didn't do well (in any way)when brought to Southern Florida.

When was that? After the FOY last year? They've been pointing him to either the Donn or Gulfstream Park Handicap since December so apparently they've been over it for a while.

I saw jazil run at gulfstream last winter in an allowance race prep with Corinthian for the FOY. I was impressed with both of their tenacity down the stretch in that one. Now he came in 2nd in an allowance race at AQ, and is being entered for another allowance race to tighten him up. The word from Helen Pitts was that she is going to run Einstein on the dirt on March 3rd in the GPHandicap. Jazil is also being pointed to the same race, and judging from Einsteins turf prep race last week, McGlaughlin needs to put more into Jazil, to take him on. The race is 1 3/16, so we shall see what happens. I'm going to try to be at gulfstream thursday for the Jazil vs Coriinthian allowance race, so i'll report back if i make it there.
