Jazil To Skip Breeders' Cup Race

Belmont Stakes winner Jazil is skipping the 2006 Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on Nov. 4, despite recovering from his bruised bone injury in the right hind leg and recently returning to training.

His trainer, Kiaran McLaughlin said, that the Breeders Cup Classic is too close for Jazil's next start and they are now looking at the Dubai World Cup next year.

"He's galloping every day, doing great and we hope to work him in the near future," said McLaughlin.

Jazil, owned by Dubai's Sheik Hamdan's Shadwell Stable, finished fourth in the Preakness Stakes before winning the Belmont on June 10 in his last race. After injuring his right cannon bone in mid-July, Jazil missed the Travers Stakes.
