Trainer Doug O'Neill confirmed that his horse, I'll Have Another, won't run in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday afternoon. O'Neill confirmed that news on The Dan Patrick Show. O'Neill cited injury as the reason the horse won't run in the race. "It's his left front leg," O'Neill told the show. "This morning, he looked perfect. I took him and did a little something with him and after training, the swelling came back." O'Neill also said that the horse looked like it was suffering from tendinitis. I'll Have Another was looking to win the first Triple Crown since Affirmed took home all three of horse racing's biggest races in 1978. "We ain't taking any chances," he said. "There are people who are going to want to slap me around, but I have to do what's best for the horse." O'Neill also told the show that he doesn't see I'll Have Another racing again. The horse improbably won the Kentucky Derby, entering the race at 15-to-1 odds. I'll Have Another then captured the imagination of horse racing fans by winning the Preakness last month.

NY Mafia got its way. Wow, this really ticks me off. Big Brown in 2008 and now this. Color me skeptical. Thanks for posting this Brian.
Wow, this really ticks me off. Big Brown in 2008 and now this. Color me skeptical. Ditto, Fred. As previously discussed somebody has to clean up the biz pdq. Ruining horse and killing jockeys and groomsmen has to stop. That would be tendonitis; but then, the dumb mick never learnt to speaka da joisey wopwop.
I'm still ticked off about this. I think I'll go to the tavern and start a fight. No I won't.
No I won't. That's the spirit Fred. Two guys walk into a bar and see a beautiful blonde. The first guy, a banker, says, "I'd loan her as much money as she wanted, if she married me." The second guy, a lawyer, says, "I'd make her sign a prenup with you and take half." The bartender says, "Sorry guys, she's for rent only and... I forget the ending.
