Sir Barton, Gallant Fox, Omaha, War Admiral, Whirlaway, Count Fleet, Assault, Citation, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, and … I’ll Have Another?

Is I'll Have Another The Best Horse In America?

Is I'll Have Another The Best Horse In America?:

Each week the NTRA conducts two “Top Thoroughbred Polls”. One poll is exclusively for three year-olds and the other poll is open to all divisions.

The voters are given no specific guidelines to aid in the voting process. Thus, we all have created our own criteria for the polls.

The subjectivity of the voting process led to some debate about the poll results for May 21^st. I’ll Have Another was the unanimous number one selection in the three year-old poll, but in the poll for all divisions he was ranked in second behind Alternation.

What do you think?

I’ll Have Another runs down Bodemeister to take the Preakness! He is the first horse since 2008 to do the Derby/Preakness double and the 11th since 1978. Will he be the 12th horse to capture all 3 - the Derby, Preakness and Belmont?

Chilled (#2) just couldn’t keep cool in the stretch at Churchill Downs Friday - he wanted to win so much that he reached over and bit Zimmer (#4), the horse who galloped next to him! Chilled prevailed by a nose, but the stewards weren’t about to allow this case of bad sportsmanship. Chilled was disqualified and placed second.

It’s a rare event when a horse bites, or “savages” another during a race, but it is evidence of the competitive spirit and fire in Thoroughbreds!

Why No Love For I'll Have Another?

Why No Love For I'll Have Another?:

Poor little I’ll Have Another.

He just can’t get no respect. I’ve decided to forsake proper English in this piece, because frankly, I’m a little fired up over the total lack of appreciation being given to a really nice horse. Have we already forgotten who won the Kentucky Derby, and the fact that he is perfect so far in 2012?
