Sucks. Like Doug O'Neil and that horse had chops. Horse racing with another blow to the chin.

The "conspiracy" is that he is being monitored so closely now, and can't win without PEDs.

O'Neill then declared his horse "fit and ready to go."

I want to see a Triple Crown, dammit.
This sucks. I won't even watch the Belmont now. Had been looking forward to it since the Preakness. Shit.

horse racing is a sport just as much as nascar is.I Wear Pants;1193133 wrote:Sports?
I personally was kidding with my first statement. I don't care about the horse or about the triple crown. And for the record, I don't think Nascar is a sport. Just trying to make a point with the "nascar is a sport" arguers.

Bummer. It wouldn't bother me if he didn't win the Belmont, but it's an exciting event to see a horse run for the Triple Crown and I feel robbed a bit.
I thought he was going to do it, too.
