I also nominate the following as a Page 6 gem....
* Jazil. This is a race horse. Solid fractions in the Belmont and solid final time. Would have beaten all of the previous Belmont winners in this decade including Afleet Alex.
Yes, the fractions were solid. And the horses racing 1-2-3-4 though the early stages ended up finishing like 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. While Jazil, who was dead last through the early stages...was the one being aided by the "solid fractions." Yes, the final time was OK, because the race track was VERY fast. An N1X allowance race earlier on in the card was run in supersonic time!
However, what really takes the cake is the "Jazil would beat every Belmont winner this decade" comment. Forget about Afleet Alex, Point Given would have absolutely DESTROYED Jazil. Point Given was awesome in victory in the Belmont Stakes
