Regarding JAZIL.. Does anyone recall that the horse is running off an injury that sidelined him for an extensive period? Or that it was the same injury that ended Smarty Jones' career? An injury that if left untreated can be fatal to a horse? Or that Shadwell could have simply retired him and sent him to the shed with his desireable pedigree?
All we hear is that 'the big outfits take the 3 year oilds to the farm too early', and when one sticks around, a really likeable one at that, all you hear is snide and denegrating comments when the horse struggles. Pathetic.
