He has alway been regarding as a dangerous deep closer. Nothing more nothing less. So I don't get this whole he is the most overrated horse in history. I can think of a couple other ones that come to mind in that category, Fug Peg comes to mind and out of last years 3 yr old class Brother Derek was the most overrated horse by far. That horse has done nothing to live up to hype he had going into the Derby or any race after that for that matter. He's turning out to be a mule.

Jazil was a bit overrated pre-derby, but he hasn't been since IMO. I've always like Steppenwolfer better (for a closer), but Jazil is a nice horse too.

I wouldn't say he was overrated going into the Derby, he was one of those horse where people pointed to when looking beyond Bro. Derek and SNS. The whole "what other horses have a legitment shot here today" catagory.
