Although, if you are going to blast a "big name"---there aren't that many more deserving of it than Jazil.

This is the worst news imaginable.. I was prepared for just about anything, but NOT this...
I hope you'll reconsider. If you leave countless hearts will be broken... we all love you, never forget that.

Well if we all liked the same horse (or horses) this game would be a little less enjoyable.
Never been a huge backer of Jazil. I doubt I ever put him anywhere other than 3rd or 4th in my exotic plays. However, I can't begrudge his supporters for liking him. Seeing a deep closer make his run and cross the wire first is probably one of the most enjoyable sights to watch in racing. I would agree with the sentiment that we need more horses like him. I was never a Stinky Jones fan either - even after winning two legs of the TC. I'm just stubborn like that sometimes. As it turns out, he was a pretty decent horse. In fact, contrary to most racing fans I've rooted against all the 'recent' horses who have given a TC sweep a run. I'd love for the sport to have a TC winner, but I want that horse to be a special horse. Even horses like Real Quiet and Silver Charm who I liked in the Derby I was hoping would fall short in the Belmont. I also was a Barbaro doubter, but that horse changed my mind after the Derby win. I wasn't rooting for a TC for him either, but he did change my opinion of him. I thought he would be best on the grass, but the surface didn't seem to matter to him. I played against Barbaro in the Preakness, and the rather ghoulish thought 'this really helps my exacta and tri' jumped immediately into my head. I hated that thought, and it was without doubt the worst feeling I have ever had cashing a ticket. Similarly, when Inexcessivelygood broke down after I prematurely celebrated an exacta hit in the '97 Jim Beam I really could have cared less about the ticket. I was crushed that a fine racehorse was no more. Other bettors probably cashed tickets they likely would have preferred to be losers. It's a rough game sometimes, but the good outweighs the bad and whether you like a horse or not can become completely irrelevant in the blink of an eye. Even if you think Jazil is the most over rated horse in the history of racing, you should be thankful for what he is - healthy and still running from the back of the pack. Your opinion of him versus others is really a poor reason to leave a website devoted to discussing the pleasures and pitfalls of the game. Just something to think about.
