Bet it is a leg problem. Oh well, the air is out of the balloon for the Belmont. No excitement now except for Lukas getting kicked in the head.

1pm news conference on why " I'll Have Another" is not going to run tomorrow.
I guess his milkshake didn't bring all the boys to the yard after all!
Shoot it.
Is I'll Have Another off to the glue factory, or the dog chow grinder?

Nope-the stud farm-where he'll live the life that the guys who read this blog dream of living...
Unless, of course, he meets the fate of Alydar- leg broken for the massive insurance payout...but he did get to lead the stud farm life for several years.
'Tendonitis flareup'...
TRAINER: HORSE'S RACING CAREER FINISHED...
Per Drudge.
Why can't he get a cortizone shot and then race. The worst he can do is lose.
He would still be able to stud out for three years.
"The worst he can do is lose."
The worst he could do is breakdown and have to be euthanized, then, no stud fees.
11:52 Clearly 11:34 doesn't give a flying crap about the horse, it's the money he cares about.
"Bet it is a leg problem"? You think? And when smoke starts pouring out of the back of an Indy Car this weekend at TMS..."bet it's some sort of engine trouble", eh? Or a lady with a full cart at the grocery checkout..."bet she's getting some food", eh?
Too bad, this horse had a shot. Definitely had the lungs for Belmont. The way he finished at Derby, we all thought Triple Crown.
11:34,
I wonder the same thing. Obviously a tendonitis flare up wouldn't kill the horse. Give him a cortizone shot and let him race.
FOOLS;If they had of let him run and was injured it would be hell to pay in the industry.They have done the correct thing.Better to put him in a stud farm and continue to make money.Cortizone shots are for people like football players whoose balls are'nt worth anything!
10:57 is spot on. A plethora of horses that win The Derby and the Preakness are withdrawn from the Belmont. The reason behind this is that if they were to lose their stud fees would drop considerably; as their offspring, many assume, would also lose that race. It's really disappointing and makes the racing season much less enjoyable.

"A plethora of horses that win The Derby and the Preakness are withdrawn from the Belmont."
Not exactly. In 1936 Bold Venture won the Derby and Preakness but didn't run in the Belmont. Burgoo King skipped the race in 1932.
That's it.
