So.... I really didn't know where to put this? LOL

So, will I'll Have Another win the Triple Crown? Has the horse tested clean every time? How're the 'new' super tight rules affecting other trainers and horses?

Good luck to all who bet their fav ponies....

Don't know if IHA will be the next Triple Crown winner but I really hope so.

As far as the other mess that is going on with the NYRA, Doug O'Neill etc., it's much ado about nothing.

IHA has tested clean with each win. The winner of each race, low level claimers up to Grade I races, are always taken to the test barn after the race. If he had ever run dirty, he would have been caught way before now.

The trouble Doug O'Neill was in in California was from 2010 and they didn't prove that he had anything to do with it but by trainer rulers, the trainer is always responsible for anything and everything that happens in his barn. And if you looked back on the stats for drug infractions you would be surprised who the top trainer is.

I so hope that IHA does his thing and makes the rest of the field look like they are tied to the fence. LOL!

I'll Have Another is out... leg injury I think the news said. No triple crown runner this year.

Really sucks that IHA is out but glad the trainer/owner decided to scratch him instead of racing him.

Don't think I'll even watch the Belmont. It's just another graded stakes race now. Kind of a letdown.
