I hope this is a sign of what Corinthian can do the rest of the year... the handicap division is nauseatingly weak.

If he can run against Jazil every time, he'll do just fine.

Go Corinthian, Go Corinthian, its your birthday, its your birthday.

"And Corinthian leaves Jazil in his massive wake. Corinthian by 6, by 7, Corinthian opening up with every stride. Jazil a distance 2nd."

I think Scuds pointed this out before:

Corinthian=GP Specialist

Jazil=Hates GP

You run that race at Belmont going 1 1/8th to 1 1/4, Jazil wins..

Fractions today for Corinthian were pretty remarkable in their consistency:

24.03
23.84
23.84
23.85
12.48

The fact that he was pushed hard through the wire isn't a great sign as the slowing time could mean he was tiring but still a very solid race.

Jazil's fractions are interesting as well:
24.99
23.36
23.44
24.57
13.20

The good news is I am pretty sure Jazil had never broke 24 for a 2 furlong stretch in any of his races so at least he showed a little more speed than in his previous efforts. The bad news is the energy he used to run furlongs 3 through 6 under 47 really took its toll as he was crawling down the stretch going slower than he had ever gone at any point in any of his previous races.

Only if Corinthian is not in the race. They could run that race in Jazil's fantasy and he's still not beating Corinthian.

Both nice horses.Any way you cut it,these people would be better off to not put one or the other down.It would be very fair to prefer Corinthian on this track today.He has run very well here.They would rather talk sht about Jazil than to use him to give them a 5-1 exacta...Fine.
