Triple


The second leg of the triple crown was successfully mastered by I'll Have Another.

Two down and one to go - with the longest race yet to come.

If he wins, he'll go down as one of the greatest American Thoroughbreds of all time. 

If second or otherwise at Belmont Park, his legacy will be different.  Seems unfair, doesn't it.  In first place 2 of 3 times - but just not good enough to some.

The moral:  Keep your expectations in line with reality.  Unrealistic expectations can turn a great horse into a nag.  And nobody likes a nag.
