NEW YORK (AP) - I'll Have Another's bid for a Triple Crown ended with the shocking news that the colt was out of the Belmont Stakes due to a swollen left front tendon.
According to Dennis O'Neill, brother of trainer Doug O'Neill, the horse galloped Friday morning and after a veterinary scan, the tendon seemed "kind of tender."
O'Neill told The Associated Press that, "the horse is sound and happy, but it's not worth it."

ReplyDeletedetention barn has limited o'neill's ability to perform his magic!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to seeing another Triple Crown Winner again. I remember seeing several but it's been awhile. I just wish the horse could run but if they think it would hurt him I guess they made the right decision. I guess I just go "have another" for for "I'll Have Another" !! Too bad!
ReplyDeleteGood for him! Good for the horse.
