Oh, no

Such sad news and what a disapointment. Shows how fragile our racehorses are. You wouldn't think this would happen with long slow gallops. I wonder if his trainer tried to get in a fast workout? Like eveybody, I was so looking forward to this race.

Sound I Just

Sound I Just posted that in another thread
Anyone who knows the way the backstretch works will tell ya that
the horse has a bowed tendon from being blown out with a 3 or 4 furlong breeze
instead of going twice around the wrong way. And to be honest im not sold on the inbreeding theory
they have been inbreeding since the begining of time
its just bad training and the use of illegal drugs including Lasix and bute
Trainers today dont have the patience like they did back in the day

I Think

I think that Ill Have Another was a sacrifice for another horse. or maybe he was a distraction for something going on behind the scenes of the horse racing business. Cause i dnt see how a horse can get hurt from a simple workout REALLY!! Its really sad news i guess well have to wait to next year for a triple crown winner. One more thing why would they start comparing him to Affirmed then all of a sudden hes hurt.
