I'll Have Another has won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.
Do you think I'll Have Another can also win the Belmont Stakes on June 9th to become the first 3 year old to win the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in the United States since 1978?

Can? Yes
Will? Who knows, but it would be very cool to see.

Horses who've won both the Derby and Preakness since Affirmed in '78 are...what, like 0-for-11 in the Belmont now? That includes horses who looked far more impressive and dominant than I'll Have Another did. No matter how good a horse looks beforehand, that 1.5-mile track can make a lot of them look mediocre.
You have to bet against him. It would be great to see--I haven't seen a Triple Crown in my lifetime--but there have been too many sure things--Smarty Jones, War Emblem, Big Brown, etc. etc. etc.--who fell short.

I'll Have Another has unfortunately been scratched from the Belmont due to a swollen tendon.

Dog food and glue is the best thing he can do now.

The recent trend of Horses being unable or even unwilling to race all three races seems to make this an impossible task........ But three races over a month+ should not be that difficult a task to accomplish........and I did fall for it and had actually planned to watch the race today... I'll vote no then  |
