Point Given-

I didn't feel like re-reading the entire thread but I'm guessing there's a few posters who ate crow. I was with you on Jazil being overrated; maybe not the biggest ever, but he's now burned odds on money in two NW2Xs, so I think it would be very difficult to say he hasn't been overrated by the general public.

I don't think that there were too many people here (or any) talking about Jazil being a mortal lock or anything, so there isn't much crow to eat for anyone.

I think the point most were making is that you don't have to **** on another horse just because it's not the horse you like in a race. Most racing fans don't generally appreciate that.

people complain about speed, speed, speed and then diss Jazil.. If only there was top class action over 12f like the good old days..he'd do extremely well. Invasor would still probably smoke everyone though at 12

If he would have ran 12fl today he would have gotten beat by 20.

He was up and down while Corinthian was incredible

Hes 21 years old. He'll learn that there are better ways to talk up a horse like Corinthian and diss a horse we all knew was going to be badly overbet.

I give him kudos for being able to identify that Jazil was a bad win wager today. I wouldnt say he had zero chance but in my opinion at 4/5 he was one of the worst win wagers I have seen this year.

This guy took the obvious horse to beat him and put up a lot of money and got paid.

Maybe next time, he will do it in a more likeable way like Mermaid does.

PS- What was up with the King of Jazz being 7/2? Who is the King of Jazz?

"zero chance" was further from the truth than 4/5.
