The horse was so impeccably bred and talented that I feel that another trainer might actually have gotten a whole lot more out of him. First, after the walkover in the Preakness, how could he possibly have been allowed to skip the Belmont. An AP Indy colt going 1 1/2 against that level of competition should've been a cakewalk. Jazil has proven that he was even a greater classic winning fluke than Giacomo. Then, for his final Breeders' Cup prep race, he basically puts him in a position for a public workout rather than shipping him somewhere, anywhere, he could actually be tested. When it came time for his big test against a prime time horse, he failed because of lack of fighting skills more than anything else.
