Lotta people here hate Jazil. He's a gamer and his Belmont was stronger than people give him credit for.

Maybe I'm just extra hopeful because I love the horse, but I don't think the two preps in allowances are that much of a worry. He probably needed to get out of the barn and there are not too many stakes suited to him this time of the year. They've stated the Gulfstream race (with a back-up in Dubai should Invasor not make it) for months now. I think Shadwell is pretty keen to know this is a horse who is going to need things to go just right for him (in both pace & distance) to be standing in the winner's circle again.

I don't think it should be a big concern. Keep in mind they were preparing him for the Donn as a backup to Invasor so maybe they just decided he was too keyed up and they needed to get him a race now.

Corinthian jogs, wins this race for fun.... i make every bet i say im going to make on this site, and im thinking of putting $500 to win on him, i like him alot in this spot. Jazil is the most overrated horse in the history of horse racing.

I would never put a penny on that spaz Corinthian. . . You just can't trust a horse like him. . .

most in the history of horse racing??? surely not! there've been a lot of overrated horses out there. he's only run once since the belmont, not enough time on the track to really build hype.
it's to be expected he would win again. but i don't think i'd say he's overrated.

Wow, what a post. Most overrated horse in the history of horse racing. If you're looking to be a rabble-rouser, then congratulations.

Hyperbole.

I'm an equal-opportunity hyperbole spotter.

How do you go from making $20 WPS bets to a $500 win bet? You must be crazier than me. Peronally I like the bet and agree Corinthian will win today. Am I putting $500 on him? No way. Just rooting for him as I do all Jerkens horses.

In addition to that, who, at 21 years old has $500 to throw around? I must have been at the poor college back in my day.

Somebody who lives at home with Mommy and Daddy and has no bills.
