You guys are making the automatic assumption that something would have gone wrong and I'm not going to just accept that as truth. As far as we know, he could have run and come out of the race OK. Or he could have run and worsened the injury and never run again. Or he could have run and suffered a catastrophic injury and the entire sport would have suffered. His people said he could have run.

I think in retrospect that it was a Godsend for the sport that I'll Have Another didn't run. Can you imagine a Triple Crown winner who never stepped on the track again? That might have been worse for the sport than not having a Triple Crown winner like ever.

It would have been much more catastrophic for the sport had they ran an injured horse and he broke down trying to win the TC.
Think Eight Belles x 1000.
