Jackson

without the 15 points would he have gotten in the july?? he is still lower than pomodoro etc and did beat them so not bad at all

Time will tell but IMO Shogunner and Vettel are now overrated!

Shogunnar is a top horse, if accepted in July, WATCH him place

hiya

i watched snippets of First Call this morning,Nico was going on about Jackson getting a reasonable weight for the big one,now that DWTD is scratched.also quoted Vee Moodley.

This horse was very impressive last Sat.If you watch the start,broke well and the jock kept looking left to see who will set pace.For a few strides i thought he would have gone to the front himself.

In my opinion - one of the hallmarks of a brilliant horse is that he can win from the front or the middle or from last. Pure genius is Jackson....
I think the shape of his face really looks like Camelot's

Followed up in the Summer Cup......hope GVZ knows how to find Cape Town and those Jackson fans the Daily News was at level weights .......Shogunnar no Gr1 penalties .......do the maths......

muhti tbf summer cup is nothing more than a glorified A div handicap with big prizemoney and il be surprised if anything that ran in that race would manage to run a place in the met.
granted there must be something wrong with mdk yard for his horses to run so bad on the day against mediocre opposition.

?......I thought the same way...... but all you form followers that make Jackson a good thing in the met watch for Shogunnar he is like his pedigree would suggest getting better with age.....by not winning yesterday should meet Jackson on a2kg swing and with 60 days to the met could be primed for the race.....Joey Soma should twist the boss's arm for Wagner to go down to make the pace......

he would need 22kg to beat jackson and variety club and a 100metre start...a 96 merit rating wins a group 1 hcap joburgs premier race ...lol

Some people use numbers and maths to calculate a good MR.......had Wagner been in a top yard he would have been lumped on reputation alone......who says he is a true 96 when Soma has kept him from distance suited classics ......run in the .SA Derby not in his realm yet.......:S

JACKSON WILL NOT WIN J&B MET....

and if he does then what?
