Kent is sucking on some sour apples. I'll Have Another is the favorite and his finishing drive is exactly what you need at the Belmont...

Wasn’t Desourmeaux supposed to ride a horse in Derby? He got bumped because he flunked a drug test the day before. Sounds like whinning to me.

I'll Have Another (a read-name name for the headlines) won the last two races with strong finishes. Belmont is the longest of the three races, so this horse is in the right position it needs to be in.

This has been a long-time coming since the last Triple Crown winner -- although Afleet Alex should've done it but was unexpectedly upset by Giacomo at the Derby, only to win decisively at the next two races.

Who could not luv and cheer for a horse named "I'll have another?"

Not anyone (or almost all) who ever served in our glorious Military; that is going back a couple of decades and more, when it was not all Wussified and PC (our Warriors can't have a beer in AfGan, why?) and we knew how to have a good time and unwind, when off duty

Article says Kent Desormeaux claims the horse and rider have no chance because they have no experience at Belmont. I guess I can understand the pressure thing re the rider but why would the Horse suffer from never raced at any certain location?

Don’t tell me that everyone has forgotten that Great horse, Secretariat. He won it by 31 lengths!

“Kent Desormeaux, the last rider to attempt the Triple Crown, in 2008, told the Baltimore Sun that the rookie horse and rider didn’t have a hope at the Belmont Stakes”

BS Kent...ALL triple crown winning horses are ‘Rookie’s’, and only Eddie Arcaro, aboard Citation in 1948 was not a ‘Rookie’ rider.
