Injury Could Keep Casino Drive Out Of Belmont

Posted: 10:12 AM ET

Casino Drive (Mineshaft), the horse pegged most likely to stymie Big Brown's Triple Crown bid, may be forced to miss Saturday's GI Belmont S. The chestnut colt did not go to the track Friday morning because connections were concerned with a potential injury to his left hind leg. "We were not happy with the way his hind leg was moving," Nobutaka Tada said. "That's the reason he didn't go to the track." The problem has not yet been diagnosed, and it has not yet been determined if the three-year-old will be able to run in the Belmont. "We will see how he is [Saturday]," Tada said. "I can't say anything more right now."

WOW... that is some bit of news...thanks for sharing..

All of the reports on his works haven't been very positive and not just because of the slow time. What a shame if he is injured and has to scratch.

May be absolutely nothing - a far cry from a "likely" scratch

I hope he still runs, but if he doesn't, I'll really have to laugh at the fact that the 419,238 threads about this horse's chances in the race were even more pointless than most of us thought previously.

Is it possible that this might cause some to revisit the idea of waiting to see who is actually competing in a race before they decide on their bets? Sadly, I suspect the answer is "no."

It is because PG mushed the hell out of him

They already have their excuse lined up when BB blows his doors off.

If they don't go to the track the day before a 12f race they are likely scratch. The Japanese are very cautious. If there wasn't a really good horse in there than they might considering running him, but he probably couldn't beat Big Brown if he was 100%

These aren't americans. They don't make up excuses for everything.

There has to be zero chance this horse runs tomorrow. That kind of blows.

Oh I forgot Americans are the only people on the face of the earth that lie. Spare me your bleeding liberal heart.

I DID NOT MEAN ITS A JOKE...the poster about the excuses is a joke... casino drive has 2 career races, and is really not expected to win, why would there be a excuse if he losses ? thats what i was referring to .....

MUSH.

Please tell me you like Gio Ponti today......
