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
