There have been 11 Triple Crown winners in the history of horse racing. California Chrome is bidding to become the 12th, but there's a real possibility the California thoroughbred will be held out of the Belmont Stakes if he's not allowed the use of nasal strips.Speaking to the media Sunday, trainer Art Sherman indicated the ultimate decision will lay with his owners if the New York State Gaming Commission doesn't allow the strips. There is precedent here, as I'll Have Another was disallowed the use of the strips in his bid for a Triple Crown in 2012.
I'll Have Another scratched before the race with a leg injury that year.
"I think it opens up his air passage and gives him that little extra oomph that he needs, especially going a mile and a half [which is the length of the Belmont Stakes, the longest of the three races]," Sherman said, according to the Associated Press. "Anytime you can have a good air passage, that means a lot for these thoroughbreds."
The final decision will be made by the New York Racing Association, which has had several different stewards since the I'll Have Another ruling.
The Belmont Stakes will be run June 7.

Sanything to minimize theSe humongous fields

[thechaoz]

Yes no triple crown attempt because of this?..

[tony_come]

Did he win?

[jjgold]

Too much money involved for him not to run

[unluckysob]

I have a YES bet on Crome to win triple crown---assume 5ds will refund if he does not run.

[floridagolfer]

A horse can't be scratched before he's entered.

That thing was action the moment you bet it no matter what unfortunately.

I really hope NYRA makes a fukking exception for Cali Chrome.

Your assumption would be wrong about refund. But unless he gets hurt he is running and anyone who wants to bet it PM me or post info here and we can escrow to a reputable escrow site. Ridiculous to think he would pass up the race and a shot at history for a nose strip.

[Magnolia Slim]

There is a note that says cali chrome must run for there to be action on those future bets at five dimes.

[EmpireMaker]

Jeannine Edwards ‏@jeanninee12 8m Chrome will arrive at Belmont approx 11:30am Tues. Alan Sherman will meet with stewards after that. Hopefully matter will then be resolved

Belmont Stakes - Winner - Belmont Park - Elmont, NY
California Chrome must run in Belmont for action
Sat 6/7		101 California Chrome wins Belmont		-120
5:00PM		102 Field wins Belmont		-120

[stealthyburrito]

A ploy to drum up interest.

They'd be stupid not to let the horse race.

No one would care about Belmont otherwise, except for degenerates.

[thetrinity]

ill have another got scratched 2 years ago, but ya it ruined the race completely

was this bet before the derby?

Agreed.

Yes but that was due to injury a few days before belmont. I'll have another was denied the use of nasal strip and accepted it and was ready to race.

[stevenash]

The horse is going to run.
/endthread

[sweethook]

this is one of the weakest fields ive seen in a long time ...so he wins easy

[mcdonae101]

Thats just for taking him against field and stuff like that. I believe any bet placed early on winning the triple crown would b graded a loser if he doesn't run

[dise-pa]

nyra approved nasal strip read all about it cc wins easy

[Magnolia Slim]

I would assume there would be a notation saying the particular horse has to run in all three races or no action but i dunno.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

That means the horse is racing, right?

Strange that this bet is till offered:

2014 BELMONT STAKES - WILL CALIFORNIA CHROME RUN ?
92003	YES			-1145
92004	NO			+725

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Then again, there is this:

ALL BETS PLACED AFTER ANY TYPE OF MEDIA POSTING OF HIS SCRATCHING WILL BE CANCELLED AND REFUNDED.

They are just banking on morons hearing from ESPN but not hearing about the latest update.

[EmpireMaker]

Alan @ShermanRacing tells ATR call came 10 min. ago that nasal strip OK'd for @CalChrome to use @BelmontStakes. @TheNYRA @NYSGamingComm Steve Byk @Steve_Byk · 6h

[davidchong]

there a infection in the horse, there a posibility o not run the final leg. have to see progress two or three days before the belmont stakes

[davidchong]

I will take now the NO @+725 and raceday will probably -200 (1/2) to -400 (1/4)

[Jayvegas420]

Horse is gonna race

[Slimpickens]

I will take now the NO @+725 and raceday will probably -200 (1/2) to -400 (1/4)

That makes no sense. This bet wont be offered on raceday.
