Nyquist out of the Belmont. Has an infection.

Well, there goes the ratings. Has a high fever.

I think the ratings "went" the moment Exaggerator crossed the finish line last Saturday.

Not a bad thing. We need a few years of no triple crown to build up the novelty factor again. Exaggerator seemed to be the better horse anyway.

Same owners that had I'll Have Another, who also had to be scratched from the Belmont due to injury (and they had a shot at the Triple Crown too).

I'm beginning to wonder if horse racing isn't putting too much stress on the horses. (Or maybe stick with turf racing -- don't hear about problems there)

LOL, with no triple crown on the line, you weren't getting extra viewers any way. U were getting those who watch regardless.

No One gives a shite about a Kent D and Mario round 3. Once no Triple Crown, the majority dont care.
