One of which was at AQU, in a maiden race rained off the turf. He beat the immortal Tasteyville by a nose.

We could only be so lucky. Too bad for Jazil that a horse that doesn't really get going until 12 furlongs is such a joke in this day and age. In the past horses like that were celebrated. Unfortunately now there is only one graded 12 furlong race a year and unfortunately for Jazil he made the mistake of winning it and becoming the butt of all jokes.

Sorry man, but that horse doesn't "get going" at all. He only won the Belmont because he plodded along in last pace behind a supersonic pace (when you factor in the distance and kind of horses running that distance) High Finance was outsprinted for the lead in that race!

He is mistaken for a marathoner. Getting enough pace was far more important than having enough distance with him.

He made Giacomo look like Spectacular Bid.
