Can "I'll Have Another" pull off the second leg of the Triple Crown? IMO, he has a chance but it will come down to the wire again between him and "Bodemeister"

Thoughts.............

Just can't get into horse racing. Nothing interesting to me about it. Also, FYI, you listed the date as March 19.

"I'll Have Another" will have a chance at the Triple Crown.

"I'll Have Another" will have a chance at the Triple Crown.

The mile and a half Belmont Stakes is a long, long race---particularly for a horse that will be running it's third long race within a five week span. I think of Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Charismatic, War Emblem, Funny Cide, Smarty Jones, and Big Brown who all came up short. It's a difficult thing to do.

Agreed but he has a chance. That's what makes Secretariat's 32 length win at the Belmont even more impressive. I'm hoping "I'll Have Another" pulls it off.
