Default I'll Have Another Scratched From Belmont Stakes
So there goes your possible end to the 34-year drought for a Triple Crown winner.

Understand, I am not a racing fan, but I do confess I am, for what may seem an odd reason, somewhat relieved by this. Yes, I do have sympathy for not only the owners and jockey of this horse, but also for the many sports fans who have grown to full maturity without having the thrill of witnessing a truly remarkable feat. Yet I also felt this horse was rather unfortunately named, and for that reason did not want him to win the Crown.

Consider this partial list:

War Admiral
Whirlaway
Count Fleet
Assault
Citation
Secretariat
Seattle Slew
Affirmed

I'll Have Another???


Which one does not belong?
