    Sucks. Like Doug O'Neil and that horse had chops. Horse racing with another blow to the chin.

    This is truly a sad day in sports.

    would the gif of someone beating a dead horse be enough proof for you?

    Doug O'Neil just confirmed it on the Dan Patrick Show.

    The "conspiracy" is that he is being monitored so closely now, and can't win without PEDs.

    By that notion, all of sports is just primates throwing/kicking objects around.

    O'Neill called an audible and sent I'll Have Another out for a final gallop in secrecy at Belmont Park. The colt jogged and then galloped around the 1½-mile oval accompanied by stable pony Lava Man.
    O'Neill then declared his horse "fit and ready to go."

    I want to see a Triple Crown, dammit.

    This sucks. I won't even watch the Belmont now. Had been looking forward to it since the Preakness. Shit.

    solid work by the espndotcom editors piecing that one together.

    horse racing is a sport just as much as nascar is.


    I personally was kidding with my first statement. I don't care about the horse or about the triple crown. And for the record, I don't think Nascar is a sport. Just trying to make a point with the "nascar is a sport" arguers.

    Really?

    He worth approximately $6,000,000 as a Stud.

    \sarcasm. CLEARLY the stud fees will be astronomical.

    Bummer. It wouldn't bother me if he didn't win the Belmont, but it's an exciting event to see a horse run for the Triple Crown and I feel robbed a bit.

    I thought he was going to do it, too.

    Good. Now we can stop pretending to like horse racing.
