Trainer's Past Overshadows I'll Have Another's Glory [01:07]
I'll Have Another may be only one race from immortality, but his spotlight is being overshadowed by his trainer's Doug O'Neill's past. O'Neill has had numerous drug issues with his horses and is currently suspended in California. Len Berman explains why this shouldn't deter from I'll Have Another's greatness leading into the Belmont Stakes and the possible Triple Crown.

1995 Belmont Stakes - Thunder Gulch : Full ABC Broadcast [01:04:11]
With his star, Timber Country, back in the barn recovering from a virus, the trainer D. Wayne Lukas marched into the racing record books yesterday when his other colt, Thunder Gulch, won the 127th Belmont Stakes by two lengths after a tingling duel down the homestretch with Nick Zito's Star Standard. Lukas became the first trainer ever to win five straight triple crown races, which he did with three horses, and the first to sweep the triple crown with two horses: the absent Timber Country, who won the Preakness three weeks ago, and Thunder Gulch, who won the Kentucky Derby five weeks ago. "I'm overwhelmed and very, very happy," Lukas said. "Everything fell into place. When it got down to one horse with Timber Country out, it all rested on Thunder Gulch's shoulders. And he was ready." He has been getting ready since last November, when he won the Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct and began a string of successes that catapulted him from his rank as a second-string horse in a Lukas barn crammed with stars: second in the Hollywood Futurity, first in the Fountain of Youth Stakes, first in the Florida Derby, first in the Kentucky Derby and third in the Preakness. And after his stablemate was scratched because of the virus and a fever, which subsided yesterday, Thunder Gulch added the $697400 Belmont Stakes as the flag bearer of the stable.

RTD WINS 3rd on 6.3.12.avi [09:24]
Ready To Defer WON the 3rd race on Sunday, June 3rd at Beautiful Belmont Park. He broke sharp from the 4 hole with Ramon Dominguez and never looked back! Ramon never moved his hands through fractions of 22, 45, 56! As the race progressed the margin steadily widened. At the top of the stretch he opened up an 8 length lead then in the words of the chart caller: "....Increased the lead from upper to mid-stretch, under a mild hand ride, got geared down at the 16th pole, allowed to complete the contest handily"... I think that about sums it up! He finished in 109 and 2! Sundays so far have been very good luck for PGR!! Congratulations to all! This is one awesome horse! Nice way to celebrate another weekend
