Pace makes the race. With easy fractions in front, the front-runners didn't get tired enough to make Jazil's late run effective vs Corinthian. In the meantime, Jazil, whom nobody thought was the best of his generation or even second-best, has gotten important race-fitness.

I think this horse will move up quite a bit on turf.

While he may not have the most obvious turf pedigree in history, I think his breeding is certainly capable of being a good turf runner. More importantly, in my eyes, he kind of runs like a turf horse on dirt.

While I am looking forward to see him try the turf, I really question how well he might do. Turf racing usually involves cruising along, finding a good position, and then a big sprint in the final stretch. Horses that do well on turf have the ability to quicken substantially in the stretch. Jazil seems to me more of a grinder, more one-paced.

I could be wrong so we'll see. I guess I like the fact that they're trying something different with him.

First....he is eligable for a 2 other than....secondly, I honestly don't think we will see him win another race in his career
