So disappointing. I was really looking forward to the race today (at 6:35 EST).

The Wall Street Journal had a nice graphic in yesterdays edition. It showed how the last 11 horses that had a shot going into Belmont ended up losing. Titled "11 Ways to Lose the Tripe Crown", it's reasons included things like bad starts, jockey errors, etc.

"I'll Have Another" added the simplest one to the (now 12 reason) list, just don't race.

93 % sure it was because they found out the trainer was cheating...again..

..the sport is half dead and couldn't handle a cheating / doping scandal..

imagine trying to beat a poker game that has a rake of 18 to 33% ? thats horse betting for ya...
