Doug O'Neill had to threaten to pull I'll Have Another from the Belmont yesterday in order to get permission to cook his oats. (This is done to help prevent colic when a horse is going to so some serious exercising.) Michael Matz, trainer of Union Rags, wanted to cook HIS horse's oats as well and was denied permission... until it looked like Another was going home. Both horses got a hot meal. If it's not one thing, it's another with this year's Belmont! It just goes to show politicians can take the fun out of anything.
