on the verge of becoming the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 (34 years)...
- Scratched from the Belmont -
rumor has it he's got a strained tendon from a violent "kick" while in his stall recently.

sigh....
here's a video with trainer (funny guy) Doug O'neil...(BEFORE the bad news of being scratched)

Smart move by the trainer.
Anything can happen in a horse race, mostly BAD!

Really sad, I was actually getting into the spirit of this Triple Crown thing pretty good, but I'm glad they decided to do what's best for the horse. :thmbsp: I'm blaming that famous curse, either your horse is "meant" to win it all, or he just won't.
