ELMONT, NY – The Belmont Stakes takes place tomorrow, but Triple Crown Candidate, I’ll Have Another, will not be there. The colt’s owner, Paul Reddam, announced during a press conference today that I’ll Have Another will be retired due to tendonitis in the horse’s left front leg.
With the retirement, the chance of someone winning the Triple Crown has been put to rest for yet another year. “I’m afraid history is going to have to wait for another day,” Reddam stated during the press conference. It has been 34 years since anyone has won the Triple Crown, and the three-year-old colt had the chance to make history. It comes as a very big disappointment.
