The more I think about the slight at the top of this thread, the more annoying it is. The fact is, there aren't ENOUGH Jazil's around... Bred to run forever in a world of cheap speed... Sire Seeking the Gold needs no introduction... Dam Better Than Honour, as Pais mentions, was a multiple stakes winner: Demoiselle, Acorn and Comely. She's a Deputy Minister mare. Has a 2yo by Mineshaft.

The 2nd dam, Blush With Pride by Blushing Groom, was a KY Oaks winner, as well as winning 3 other grades and placing in three other Gr. I's... Third dam is Best in Show (Traffic Judge), a Comely winner like her grandaughter, and 1982 Broodmare of the Year.. Not only is Jazil more than useful or nice, he's important as he's carrying what looks to be an excellent sire's pedigree that can contribute to the stamina side in the shed.
