While I'm sure the bashers will flock to this thread like moths to a flame...the little guy brought more delight to me as a racing fan than few other horses have. Enjoy the green fields little one!

Both of his stirring victories?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

One of which was at AQU, in a maiden race rained off the turf. He beat the immortal Tasteyville by a nose.

Like I said..moths to a flame.

You called it

He really has done enough....

[AeWingnut]

he was the only ancestor to the great Colin in the Belmont
everyone knew he was a lock
even if he could only manage to win the Belmont

I wouldn't call myself a "Jazil basher" but I really don't understand how he brought you a lot of delight.
He was a pretty decent horse in the spring of his 3yo year. There is certainly no shame in running second in the Wood, turning in a respectable performance in the Derby, and then winning the Belmont. But unless you had a big wager on him in that race or something, I just don't see where the delight comes from.

To each their own.

True, and I am not going to tell you that you shouldn't have liked the horse. Like whomever you want.
But the biggest things this horse ever accomplished was running second in the '06 Wood and winning the '06 Belmont, and as far as I am concerned, those two races stunk. The '06 Belmont was probably the worst field for a TC race in recent memory. As for the Wood, Bob and John won. I think that says it all.

I hope I never see a day when I can only appreciate the great Champions of our sport. I'm not sure if you are a horse person or not, but I think most who are, have liked a horse that was short on talent but went out and did his best even if it was only a victory over the worst Belmont field in history.

True. My point was that I just don't understand what it was about Jazil that you liked so much. As I said, I am not trying to convince you that you are wrong for liking the horse. That wouldn't make any sense. I have liked and followed $10,000 claimers. Usually though, those horses were either horses I liked because of their ability to win, or their ability to win money for me. And I get that it doesn't ALWAYS have to be about winning. I have really enjoyed watching and cheering on Sumwon this year, but that is because I felt I had at least some connection with the people involved with her.
I guess because I never saw anything in Jazil that I liked personally, I am just a little curious about what it was that you did see.

Did anyone actually read this? It sounds like a little Jazil bashing to me. Was this sarcasm at a high level?

[Indian Charlie]

it is likely that jazil will be a better stallion than invasor, who will most likely be a total flop.

i'd say that if both are alive and well, that by the time their fifth crops come around, jazil will command a higher fee.
