Elmont, New York -
Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I'll Have Another is out of tomorrow's Belmont Stakes because of an injury. And his trainer says he probably won't race again.The colt was heavily favored to become horse racing's first Triple Crown winner since 1978.
According to the brother of trainer Doug O'Neill, I'll Have Another went out for a gallop this morning, and afterward the tendon seemed "kind of tender."
The trainer told "The Dan Patrick Show," ''It's not tragic, but it's a huge disappointment." When asked if I'll Have Another has run his last race, O'Neill said, "If I had to wager, I would say yes."
Eleven horses are still set to go to the starting gate tomorrow for the mile-and-a-half race.
