This would be very sad. We haven't had a Triple Crown winner since the late-70s.

Doug O'Neill said he was never told he could make a request to use nasal strips on I'll Have Another in 2012 Belmont "or else I would have"

O'Neill said if Sherman is allowed to use them on California Chrome, he will ask to use on Goldencents in Met Mile and 2 other runners.

Thanks I've been looking for him in all the race replays of the 2012 Belmont.

Now I can resume living life

There's no way he pulls out.

This is just posturing.

Nasal strips?

Please.

Too much $$$ to be made with a triple crown at stake for them to enforce it. It's a damn nasal strip, Belmont.

Chrome always runs out of gas at the end. He will get beat in 3 weeks.

Too much $$$ to be made with a Triple Crown for the owner/trainer to not allow the horse to run the race.

This could derail things. As I said in the original thread, nyra had a hard on for o'neill.

They let harness horses use them, so I'd say it will be ok.

I still say he runs, regardless of decision. Hell, he's got a ready made excuse if he loses

Crap.

Well, at least it's not a prediction...just minor bad mojo at this point that can be beaten.

I'm sure he'll make his prediction soon enough. Pj's curse stopped candy boy cold in the 1st turn in the derby.
