Looks like there won't be a Triple Crown winner this go round.

That's too bad.

Glad to hear they are doing the right thing by the animal....most would of run him anyways.
I can't get excited about Horse Racing (own them) because they run two year olds and destroy so many of them to get a 'winner'.
A horse isn't mature until 4 and their legs, joints etc have not fully developed yet.
The only reason they don't wait is money....the two years more of training and feed that it would cost.
I'll start working a 2 year old, round pen, start under saddle etc but won't work them hard.
Thousands of good young horses are ruined for life or destroyed trying to make a quick buck.
Do I sound like a PETA weenie lol.

It's now being reported that, I'll Have Another, has been "retired" from racing.

Quote:
ELMONT, NY (RNN) - I'll Have Another, the racehorse that won the first two legs of the Triple Crown, has been officially retired by his owner.

Owner J. Paul Reddam made the announcement at a news conference held outside the horse stables at Belmont Park. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner was scheduled to race in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday but suffers from tendinitis in his left front leg.

"We have to do what's best for the horse," Reddam said. "If he can't compete at the top level – he's done enough."
