((HT: Dan Patrick Show))
On the "Dan Patrick Show," the trainer for I'll Have Another dropped this bombshell...
From their Twitter:
"I'll Have Another is officially out of the Belmont."
So, NBC isn't happy now... the horse scratched...
More when we know more...
1200 UPDATE: The New York Racing Association has scheduled a 1 p.m. press conference to announce that the colt will be scratched.
I'll Have Another, the 4-5 morning-line favorite for the 144th "Test of the Champion," will be the 12th horse since Affirmed in 1978 to win the first two jewels of the Triple Crown but not complete the sweep in the Belmont.
FOSG Paul Newberry has off his Twitter:
The brother of I'll Have Another trainer Doug O'Neill's brother says the horse "sound & happy, but it's not worth it.

I'll Have Another Takes Another Part Of The Triple Crown
((HT: ABC2 Baltimore))
In what looked like a re-run of the Kentucky Derby, I'll Have Another beat Bodemeister down the stretch to win the Preakness and only need to win the Belmont on June 9th for a Triple Crown season- the first since Affirmed in 1978.
The horse covered the mile and 3/16ths in 1:55.94 and paid off at $8.40, $3.80, and $2.80. Trainer Doug O'Neill won his first Kentucky Derby two weeks ago, and this win was his first in the Preakness.
Here's the recap from Bal-muhr...

Thank you sir; I'll have another wins the Derby
Let the jokes commence now.
I'll Have Another, one of the longer of the long shots at 12-1 odds, came from behind and ran down one of the fastest horses in the field, Bodemeister to win the 128th version of the Kentucky Derby.
Bodemeister got out to an early, big lead but couldn't hold it on what ended up being a sunny day in Louisville, Kentucky.
There was some concern over the conditions after rain soaked the Churchill Downs track over the past couple of days, but it ended up not being a significant issue.
Highlights aren't yet available so, we'll post a video of what most of you all are thinking:
