Congrats I'll have Another & Team !!
I added this guy to my "horses to watch stable" after his Santa anita derby win. I'll admit that I wasn't sure about him winning the preak or the triple, not because I doubted his ability, but I know it is hard  to do a triple crown.  I will say after I H A 's kentucky derby win he was being disrespected to not be the favorite and put behind Bodemeister. I H A showed everyone saturday that "I'm the real deal". Bode is a good powerful horse, but this small, fast STUD has his number. As I have heard some say this is a flexible horse that can run any race asked of him and he's done that two races in a row. Oh yeah isn't he undefeated this year ? I'll have another is a great story and i'll be more than happy for him if he completes the sweep. He started in my top ten, but now a lot higher of course. He's basically kicking all my other favorites BUTTS. Like any great athlete got to give credit where it's due. Great Job big guy !!

Horse notes - The competitive racing of horses is one of humankind's most ancient sports, having its origins among the prehistoric nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia who first domesticated the horse about 4500 BC. For thousands of years, horse racing flourished as the sport of kings and the nobility.

 Horse notes - The Romans had chariot races with horses running for hundreds of years, but the first time horse racing was documented in the United States wasn’t until 1665. In 1665 a horse racing track was built and called the “Newmarket” on the Salisbury Plains in Long Island, New York. The first race was operated by the New York Colonial Governor.

DRILL ! I like this horse #2, he's gotten me 2 wins & 1 show out of 3 races.

Horse notes - Horse racing began to become a professional sport during the reign (1702-14) of Queen Anne, when match racing gave way to horse races involving several horses on which the spectators wagered. Horse racing racecourses sprang up all over England, offering increasingly large purses to attract the best race horses. These purses in turn made horse breeding and owning horses for racing profitable. With the rapid expansion of the sport came the need for a central governing authority. In 1750, racing's elite met at Newmarket to form the Jockey Club, which to this day exercises complete control over English racing.

I refuse to throw in the TOWEL on union RAGS !

This is a good horse, so what's the problem ? trainer ? jockey ?
