Jazzy is a plodder. True 1 1/2 dirt horse. Therefore he is screwed.

When jazil was used down the back stretch, i was surprised , could this have been a workout within the race.

The pace was too slow---and his main rivals in the betting, Corinthian and King of Jazz were sitting 1-2 up on that soft pace---in a better tactical spot.

Jazil didn't get the pace he needs.....

People forget---that not only was the Belmont 12 furlongs---but that race totally collapsed. Jazil won that from last place, and the horses who raced 1, 2, 3, 4 early on---all went too fast, and would up finishing like 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th.

Funny thing about those Grade 1 races is that the pace is gunna be a bit more honest than some of these allowance races.You might not be able to go a 47 half without somebody looking you right in the eye.No,they aren't allowance races.

There are A LOT of slow paced Grade 1 races run each year.

May I congratulate you on your incredible bad taste in having the former happy couple as your avatar. Now if we can just manage to get Paris, and Britney to do the same...... Question is who gets the $$ now, the surviving infant ?

Who cares who gets the money......and who cares about celebs in general.

I guess I almost got to have Cole Norman up as my avatar today....
