I think the fact that he is going to lead the Post Parade of the Belemont Stakes tomorrow is a good start.

However, I am already hearing from those that are not real fans that O'Neill scratched in order to prevent drugs from being detected in the horse. I hope the New York Times is proud of their journalism, if you can call it that.
