As Belmont Stakes begin, fans lament the retirement of 'I'll Have Another'

‘I’ll Have Another’ was the first horse in a long time to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown. Now, the horse has been officially retired from horse racing without the opportunity to race in the Belmont Stakes. That has many disappointed on this Saturday afternoon.

I'll Have Another is a scratch? Guess I don't have to watch.

I'm in a slight depression that "I'll have another" won't be able to win the Triple Crown
