Interviewed at the Meadowlands Racetrack Friday evening, former
president Bill Clinton said he thought I’ll
Have Another has a good chance to win the Triple Crown, but thought Dullahan could give the Derby and Preakness winner his biggest
challenge.
“I’d say he’s got a good chance; it looked like he
had some juice left at the end of both those races,” said Clinton of
I’ll Have Another. “But the real wildcard, I think, is the horse
that finished third in the Derby,
what’s his name? The Irish name? Dullahan … you know, the Belmont might be a good
race for him because he closed just as strong as I’ll Have Another and he
came out of maybe more interference. So, if that horse has a race like he had
in the Derby,
he could still give I’ll Have Another a race.”
Clinton, a friend of track operator Jeff Gural, was the special guest
at a dinner held to support the re-election of United States Senator for New
Jersey Robert Menendez at the Meadowlands’ Pegasus Restaurant.
