Today is the Belmont Stakes!
Oh wait, what's that? The horse that was a triple crown contender has been scratched?
Oh, never mind.
I'm actually glad the horse was pulled from the race due to an injury. There are people who don't agree with any aspect of horse racing (though they are wrong, because it is awesome), but running a horse at the risk of a career, possible life ending injury is something I think is cruel. However, pulling I'll Have Another now means no one will watch the Belmont. One of the reasons I love the Kentucky Derby is because it's the first in the triple crown. The Derby is what starts it off.
So, now we wait another year. Oh well!
