I’ll Have Another will try to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 when he runs in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 9. Since Spectacular Bid in 1979, eleven 3-year-olds have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness only to fail in their Triple Crown quest at Belmont Park. Spec...Read More

  • AnnaK · Would love a Triple Crown, mostly because it would pull people in to the races, (already started I like to think), plus IHA is such a strong red engine and Mario is excellent, that it just might be. Can't see Dullahan doing it, 27 in the last q good to know, that fancy inefficient leg work, so IHA and UR and anyone else can duke it out. · 4 days ago ·

  • cocoa2 · Icy, Dullahan is the best Allowance horse I have ever seen, especially since he has won graded stakes. Or was I not to take you literally? · 4 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · IHA, can't get off after two big scores with him. Should get 3/1-7/2. That's a lot for this one. If CC gets a decent trip he wouldn't surprise me, had a hard dreby trip but he's one of the three contenders along with Bodemeister. These three are so far superior to the rest but IHA is my selection to win. · 7 days ago ·

This is definitely not a Top 100 horse. Maybe around #250 or so is more accurate.

For a man who was accustomed to having his Triple Crown glass consistency refilled, it’s been a long time between drinks for D. Wayne Lukas. After breaking through with a Preakness win with Codex in 1980, the former educator, basketball coach, and quarterhorse trainer, became one of the most success...Read More

  • likin sparks · I watched this last night and nice job! by ESPN. When you train a horse to run a specific way for so long then expect him to run against the way he was trained wasn't a good decision by Chris, however breakdowns happen and can't blame the jockey, was just really bad timing. · 218 days ago ·

Jim Squires tells about the culture of drugs used to prep the quarter horses for show and exactly who and when it became a standard in the t-bred community. Friends at Claiborne told me of how studdish Winning Colors was for almost 6 months and how this FEMALE looked like a male (WONDER WHY?) before they could get her is foal.
