I am so sick of everyone trying to insinuate that Jazil is worthy of some extra respect because he won the most irrelevant race in the world, a 12f dirt race in America. So what. Does Sarava deserve respect too? Neither of them deserves any respect for anything. They were the best horses on that day in probably the weakest grade ones of their respective years at a distance that doesn't matter anymore. Give it a rest talking about how great it is to have a classic winner back at four. I'd rather have Bluegrass Cat back instead of Jazil. I think it's better for the game that Brother Derek and Lawyer Ron are back than it is that Jazil is back. At least those horses are multiple graded stakes winners. Hell, it's better for the game that Corinthian is back than it is Jazil. I mean, he's beaten him ALL THREE TIMES they've met.

All of this debate is fun. But have to say Jazil is what he is. A one-paced horse who at distances up to and probably including ten furlongs will be at a distinct disadvantage due topace setups. Like I said in another thread Jara will continually be forced to middle move or move early and that will severely diminish his grinding ability to get a distance of ground.
He is a Classic winner and it is nice to see him back but I agree with other posters that A) he is not commercially going to be well received at stud so running him as a four year old makes sense and B) while it is one of my three favorite races, The Belmont has lost a bit of significance due to the distance of the race. I believe Jazil will continue to fill out tickets underneath but wins will be very hard to come by

HUH? We all don't hold your ding-ding for picking a 2-1 shot to win and get mad at you for bashing a horse who did finish 2nd (By 10 yes but still second when you said he wouldn't) and you decide to leave?
ANYWAYS! Congrats on the win yesterday. I do hope you went out and had some fun with the $$$! Hope to see you back soon. I really don't understand why you are leaving. No one said anything bad or called you names or anything like that. I gave you props for sticking to your guns about Corithian. And Jazil is a useful horse. I would want to own him. He would make me some $$$$. But then again, I want to own Perfect Drift.

I said I wouldn't invest money in him as he said he'd rather own about 200 horses out there before owning Jazil.
