JAZIL....Most Overrated horse in the history of horse racing....

[slotdirt]

Let me just say that after watching the replay a few more times, I'm not quite as impressed with Corinthian, and I'm not that down on Jazil, for a variety of reasons.

tremendous props to shadwell for returning jazil and invasor to the track-they could easily have retired them both.

funny isn't it, we talk of what could have been with bernardini and his ilk, while many down the ones that are still out there putting it all on the line.

Exactly. I for one appreciate seeing horses like Jazil running. Every horse does not have to be a front runner or a win machine to make racing interesting. Jazil has a certain style of running, maybe not the fastest one around and certainly one that might need a good pace set-up to win. So what? You can't just blindly single him, but its hard to totally rule him out in certain cases either.

Maybe the public has been over-rating his chances of winning, but there is no need to knock the horse for that. He is what he is.

also evidence that perhaps one brother is more 'sporting' than the other?

Indeed it is!
I couldn't help but be PO'ed when I saw pics of Bernie running in the snow...he should be doing that on the track.

On their homepage they have a photo of Circular Quay...he isn't the most attractive horse out there.
