I'll Have Another wins again

"It's Bodemeister! No! It's I'll Have Another! I'll Have Another wins!"

I love horses and I love to watch racing. At the Kentucky Derby, I was betting on Union Rags, but it was a battle between Bodemeister and I'll Have Another. On May 19 was the Preakness. We sat down to watch the race and it became clear that it would be another battle between Bodemeister and  I'll Have Another.

Bodemeister came out immediately from the gate and so did I'll Have Another. I'll Have Another slowed a bit and went back to about fourth or fifth place. Bodemeister kept going strong the whole race. It was between Bodemeister and Creative Cause for about 10 seconds, but then I'll Have Another came up with a sudden boost of energy and he passed Creative Cause.

It was then Bodemeister vs. I'll Have Another until about 100 yards from the finish. I'll Have Another won by a neck, with Bodemeister in second place and Creative Cause in third. After taking the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, I'll Have Another just might be able to win the Triple Crown. The final race is the Belmont Stakes on June 9.
