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

[Gander]

True, Tagg has had excuses of the heat, but I was referring to trouble during the race or the pace being too fast or too slow. Funny Cide never really got into situations that marred him from winning a race.

And that Preakness perfomance was pretty special and Peace Rules turned out to be quite a nice horse, much nicer than anything Jazil beat in the Belmont.

Has anybody made excuses for Jazil yesterday? I haven't heard any.

Forgot about War Emblem selling for cheap as a weanling, same with Funny Cide. Afleet Alex probably was sold as a youngster as well before the Fasig Tipton MidAtlantic sale.

Slot, I don't think WE was sold as a weaning, he was a home-bred to Reinenman, who died like two years later after selling him. The guy had all the money in the world, and went and did that.

You have the opposite in Calabrese, who hasn't sold Dreaming of Anna, because he has all the money in the world, and loves winning races

I'm not positive. I posted that he sold for 20k and Slot was replying. I found it on SI.com derby archives. It said 20k as a weanling but I'm not sure.
