TVG confirms scratch - 81 y.o. jockey agent told not to make trip.

Career ending injury

So much for the Belmont detention barn. Great idea idiots.

This was 3 days ago, by the way.

He claims the workers in O'Neill's barn tipped him off with the rumors.

If that's true, I guess O'Neill forget to bring his "What happens in this barn, stays in this barn!" posted signs with him.

He didn't even have a proper work, right?
How did manage to injure himself??

It's apparently official - wow!

I'll have another scratched
 

I’ll Have Another, winner of Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, out of Belmont Stakes due to leg injury, trainer says

From BH earlier:

I’ll Have Another jogged a half-mile and then galloped an “easy” mile, all in company with Lava Man, in his last appearance on the track before Saturday’s race, in which he will be seeking to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.

“He is fit and ready to go and we are just trying to let him bring as much energy to the table tomorrow as possible,” O’Neill said. “We thought giving him an easy day the day before would be a good move. He stayed with coach Lava Man just to keep everything off-speed. I was very pleased with it. Perfect. We are ready to roll.”

This is more insane than I want Revenge.

WTF did the dentention barn have to do with it?

I wonder how many people will show up tomorrow not knowing he's scratched.

2 races since september of last year before the 3 Triple Crown races................. I stand by what I've been saying for years now. There will never be a Triple Crown winner till these trainers start training their horses for it.

Other than Twitter, are there any real sources? Twitter accounts have been known to get hacked pretty frequently.

I'm actually feeling sick to my stomach.

too bad.

Doug O'neil broke the news on the Dan Patrick show a little while ago.

Bloodhorse
tendon injury

R.I.P. Gary Coleman

Wow! There goes that day! Freaking NYRA is snake bit. Can anything good ever happen in horse racing?

Did anyone actually hear the news broken on the Dan Patrick show? Does anyone even listen to the Dan Patrick show?

I want to believe this is a hoax. I'm guessing it isn't.

Another brilliant post. You think the detention barn caused him to hurt a tendon?

yes, I did.

Thanks Cuomo for cancelling the convention center. You knew how much that meant to Lava Man!!

“He is fit and ready to go and we are just trying to let him bring as much energy to the table tomorrow as possible,” O’Neill said. “We thought giving him an easy day the day before would be a good move. He stayed with coach Lava Man just to keep everything off-speed. I was very pleased with it. Perfect. We are ready to roll.”

This was just this morning on the NYRA site......WTF?

So disappointing.

this is terrible. i'm ill

That's really freaking odd.

because everything is always ok until it isn't. apparently he didn't cool out well, or something. things happen.

O'Neill would never bend the truth. Ever. What's going on? Andy said he's teh cleanest guy in Pomona.

Was just sitting here feeling the same, completely deflated...

:(

The racing God's have struck again

This ranks with the dumbest posts I have seen on this forum to date and that is not an easy accomplishment.

Agree.
Shitty. I was against him tomorrow, but if he would have won.... It would have been OK. Really crappy.
Still a really good card, and for the people who thought he could not get beat its a better betting race. I almost feel like I can go back to hating Union Rags.
