M/L 2/5 is unreal. Looks as the pick 3 is the play

I know you think he totally sucks, but would you be kind enough in humoring me if you see the race?

He will trail early, Throat is right on that one.
Sightseek, are you in the Alb/Sar area? I might be going to AQU a few more times over the winter, let me know if you want to tag along.

Yes and thanks, we're probably not going down until the Wood Memorial though.

He will win and pay $2.80. The late double will pay $8 at most.

I don't think he totally sucks, I like him, he just has to run faster to compete with top horses this year. It's certainly possible.

I don't know how much it's worth, but his workouts seem to be quicker this year. Maybe the time off allowed him to develop a bit.

One would certainly hope so.

He will be tough today.

Take The Bluff! Jazil needs more distance, I am not bashing him. I like the little horsie. I hope Jazil wins lots more races to earn some respect, but I say TTB wins this one.

Is Jazil "by definition the fastest horse in the race?"

Don't see him winning here, I'd like to see a little more distance for him against this pace...although he broke his maiden over the same track at the same distance. That said, I like him keyed under the 1,2,3,6 - if it's even worth betting.

This distance is perfect for him and these arent very good horses.

If this race was any farther, it may be harder for him to win. The pace would be slower. People confuse closers with having more success the farther they go. Thats not right at all. Jazil will get a nice pace to run into and Jara obviously knows this horse. While he may be better next time out, he is good enough on talent alone to run these down and by open lengths.

This is a very weak field for his return.

City Attraction and Shmoo are scratched. The City Attraction scratch really hurts Jazil and moves up Take the Bluff.

Anyone watching the race? I am at work and cannot watch. How does Jazil look? Does he look like he has filled out or anything?
