Okay, here’s an admittedly ignorant question: suppose I’ll Have Another rests up for a year and gets better.

Can he run the Belmont next year and still qualify as a Triple Crown winner?

Or is the whole point three races in a limited amount of time?

No. The Triple Crown races are for 3-yr olds only. Next year, I'll Have Another will be a 4-yr old.

No. Only 3 year olds can run in the triple crown races. It’s a once in a life time shot for these horses.
