I'll Have Another scratched from Belmont - Yahoo! News

I'll Have Another scratched from Belmont - Yahoo! News:

"NEW YORK (AP) — I'll Have Another's bid for a Triple Crown ended Friday morning with the shocking news that the chestnut colt was out of the Belmont Stakes because of a swollen left front tendon.

According to Dennis O'Neill, brother of trainer Doug O'Neill, the heavy 4-5 betting favorite galloped early and after a veterinary scan, his tendon seemed "kind of tender."

"The horse is sound and happy, but it's not worth it," O'Neill told The Associated Press."

Too bad. I like not taking a chance, though.
