Yesterday I'll Have Another, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness on his way to a possible Triple Crown, was
withdrawn from the Belmont due to tendonitis.
What gave away the story of the 2012 Triple Crown season, however, were
the somber faces that greeted the chestnut colt upon his arrival at the

wasn't supposed to be returning to that particular shedrow until after
the 144th edition of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
The breathtaking journey of I'll Have Another over the past five weeks
ended with a punch to the gut Friday when trainer Doug O'Neill and owner
J. Paul Reddam announced the colt was out of the Belmont Stakes and
would be retired following the discovery of the beginning of tendinitis
in his left front leg.
