2012 Preakness Stakes - I'll Have Another

The final leg of the Triple Crown now awaits for I'll Have Another!

[@tylermorro6663]

Watched it live. One of the greatest races ever. I can’t believe it was 10 years ago

[@montano73]

Look back at the history of races, this one is at the top of the list of exciting races. I'll have Another is my favorite horse of all time...

[@SammyGreene]

Collmus with one of the best calls ever in sports. Absolutely nailed that stretch run.

[@dan51978]

WOW....one of the best calls of a horse race I've ever heard. And what a phenomenal race this was.

[@5burowz]

His late kick is the best I've ever seen.

[@HorsesIC]

I'll Have Another's turn of foot was absolutely breathtaking.

[@mattfran9290]

Bodemeister vs I'll Have Another will go down as one of the best horse rivalries of all time in my life anyway

[@thomasj2972]

Not really a rivalry they didnt raced against each other nearly enough

[@emiliopalac2931]

You have not seen a lot. The best was the 4 horse deadhit in 2009

[@emiliopalac2931]

After 2 weeks they raced again and a 2horse deadhit happen for 1st the other 2 deadhit for 2nd plcr

[@saveitmike7228]

Blind luck and havre de grace has been the best rivalry in your lifetime

[@erickmejia6398]

Yep those were some very exciting races.

[@Miss3Socks]

No question he would've won the Belmont if he hadn't been injured. Bodemeister was his only competition, and he had already beaten him twice. Just think though--if I'll Have Another had been born in a different year, Bodemeister probably would've won the Triple Crown. Those two were just far and away better than the rest of the pack.

[@thomasj2972]

History says otherwise

[@laurastuhler4791]

Bodemeister was distance challenged, no chance he was winning the Belmont if he had run in it, even without I'll Have Another.

[@Jalen22124]

@@laurastuhler4791 by Empire Maker and has plenty of stamina in his bloodline. If he got a generous enough pace, he could've definitely wired a I'll Have Another-less field.

[@sledlen]

What a FANTASTIC Call that was.....announcer loses his voice at the end, priceless....still get chills listening to it!

[@dat_one_gamerpaul2457]

Smarty jones

[@anhell32]

Losing his Voice MAKE THE RACE LIKE A THRILLER...GREAT CALL

[@alexis1936]

I love Larry Collmus!! I love how enthusiastic he gets in the stretch, it gives me the biggest goosebumps. I have a feeling IHA would've won that triple crown if he wasn't hurt. What an incredible horse he was!

[@williamdunphy352]

Alexis The best race caller in the business is Larry Collmus.

[@loudini2695]

He Definitely would have

[@shellbelli-martinez257]

Baffert's look of defeat at 2:22 priceless! lol

[@all-timedezign4712]

You like over zealous untalented race callers who want to be the center of attention?

[@question_it_701]

@@loudini2695 You don't know that.

[@Cooldrummer]

Wow what a duel. I was jumping up and down when IHA came charging down the stretch. I had chills. Bode really made it challenging. Also incredible call by the announcer.

[@Nisie23]

Met I'll Have Another awhile back at Ballena Vista Farm here in California. Got some cool pics with him. He's HUGE! What a beauty! 😍🐎

[@gotch09]

Now this is what we call a tremendous stretch kick.

[@saintarkweather]

Favorite race ever. The triple crowns in 2015 and 2018 were cool but nothing will ever beat the drama of this race for me. Still absolutely crushed I'll Have Another never got his shot at the Belmont.

[@Cohodes]

"can i'll have another get there .. here he comes here's the wire.. " best call ever in horseracing!

[@exposefamily]

I never get tired of watching I'll Have Another.

[@hhoust1]

God everything about this video is so perfect, the call, the horse, everything

[@maxlittle1063]

The image quality sucked. Too blury.

[@zopaseah4982]

he went hysterical, ... that Larry Collmus, he was dying in his booth! ... best call ever.

[@michaelmiller5558]

I know how it ends and it still blows my mind!

[@corythegoat2745]

Michael Miller he didn't race

[@japa9958]

It's like I have to come back here once a year just to watch it and hear that call.

[@danieldevries3230]

Absolutely incredible horse and race! and that call is just special. I keep coming back now and then to re-live it.

[@japa9958]

Me too

[@Erik999]

What an awesome call. Gotta love the fanboy in him coming out at the end.

[@SaddleGirl234]

And the triple crown is on line! I cry when I see this! Hopefully 2014 has a Triple Crown!

[@myfrobert]

California Chrome didn't manage to do so that year. But luckily, we still managed to see this thing happen twice in the following years.

[@rosscardenas6636]

I literally watched all the triple crown races since 2000 or 1990 (I did both on separate occasions just can't remember which one I did first) and I remember this race stood out to me i kept coming back to watch it.

[@mangocoffee510]

I love the names "Went The Day Well" and "Teeth of the Dog".

[@funfgasdom]

This is one of the greatest calls in any sport ever. Larry Collmus.. Incredible.

[@xfactor5492]

Pfff you guys are lame. This call gives me the chills it's so exciting! I love the energy!

[@birdzilla106]

I loved this colt. I won a ton of money on him in the Santa Anita Derby and again in the Kentucky Derby. He was such a game horse and I was crushed when he had to be retired due to his injury. Who knows what would have happened in the Belmont had he been able to run, but I believe he would have had a say in the outcome. What's difficult for me to believe is that nobody in the US would pay more than $3m for him to stand at stud and he is now standing in Japan.

[@japa9958]

My Favorite race of all time and one of my favorite horses. IHA had he been able to race once more and finish in top 3 would have to be considered one of the GOAT's. Without that third race we can only speculate, but he had that potential. That said they did the morally correct thing to protect the athlete (horse) and I wish more owners and coaches in other sports would do the same. Incredible race I'll never forget.

[@paulgottfried5356]

Damn, “I’ll Have Another” was something special. First time I got emotional when I found out he couldn’t go on due to a hairline fracture. Ill never ever forget The Kentucky Derby & Preakness 2012.

[@zeehansen1743]

Oh man I cried so much when I head about it. He was absolutely amazing and I’ll forever love his derby Preakness.

[@billcarney829]

Fabulous race, perfect call; probably as good as it ever gets!

[@q4life551]

"The triple crown will be on the line at Belmont Park" best line. Wish we get to hear that often

[@jamesmcgaughan7563]

So heartbreaking. Had a boatload on Bode. Every time I watch the replay I hope he’s going to hold on.😄

[@michaelfrench7295]

One of the greatest calls in Horse Racing history

[@klinmayhem4310]

Larry Colmus' voice breaking at 100 yards is the best thing ever.

[@RedBeardedLife]

God it's hard to watch this and not think about what could have been......

[@samuelperezgarcia]

I'll Have Another has been the only triple crown hopeful this century (yes, I'm including Smarty Jones and Big Brown) that I thought had a legitimate chance at winning it all. If he could overcome a pace that went totally against him and in favor of Bodemeister and still win, the Belmont was his race to lose.

[@supersolo6]

+Samuel Pérez García I don't know man. .what Stevens did to PG in the 2001 Derby was a travesty. Even after watching AP (one of my favorites), I still think PG might have been the best horse in the 21st.

[@samuelperezgarcia]

AP impressed me so much in the Arkansas Derby that I had no doubts he would sweep the TC. No other horse has given me that impression in 20+ years (I'll Have Another impressed me only after the Preakness win). There have been many great ones so far in this century, like Ghostzapper, Wise Dan, Zenyatta, etc., but I think AP was the best of the bunch. Of course, I'm not counting the Eurpean horses since I hardly ever watch them race, I just mean American horses.

[@supersolo6]

I also chose AP after the Arkansas...and people thought I was crazy. But I hadn't seen something like that since maybe 2005 and Afleet Alex

[@supersolo6]

But I still think Point Given would have proven superior to those horses if he hadn't been injured.

[@markanzaldua6173]

One of the greatest races of all time, I'll Have Another - my fav horse, definitely a triple crown winner that never got to win it

[@mcjason04]

One of my favorite horses, never raced as the betting favorite, ultimate underdog.

[@SammyGreene]

After yesterday can't help to think how good of chance I'll Have Another would have had at the triple crown. He and Bodemeister in a class by themselves in this race.

[@ajcaprio2361]

I wanted to see super Mario Guitterez win the triple crown so bad. He won me a boatload on that derby. “Can I’ll have another get there?” Is probably my favorite horse call of all time

[@thewildwilsonshow]

still all these years later and it's still so exciting! Especially cause my horse turned on the burners to win! The NBC guy so amazing calling the race!

[@doubleplay1919]

was that the greatest call ever?

[@4HBirtcher]

Well with 2 horses that close to each other crossing the start/finish line (at least ten one hundreds of a second) or heads apart, you bet it is the best call ever!!

[@doubleplay1919]

when these horses give 100% for these races injuries will happen

[@geofflondon9913]

yes, IHA and Mario gave their all, but IHA went down early for it :(:( - -- but he had quite a time doing it; to have loved and lost is far better than to have never loved at all.

[@JJKrak123]

Real quiet 1998

[@robinabernathy2829]

The deep closing ability of I'll have Another I'm convinced the horse would've won the Belmont. It was built for the Belmont.

[@doubleplay1919]

i love i'll have another.....i hope his offspring are champions as well

[@JOHN----DOE]

What a game little horse. So close to the Triple Crown, yet so far. Well, he's having fun in Japan.

[@lsieu]

We just had a bay filly born this week by I'll Have Another out of Chalky (IRE), and the foal is all legs! Last year, Paul Reddam has reacquired I'll Have Another. I'll glad that such a great horseman as Mr. Reddam will look after I'll Have Another once he retires completely in the coming years, but for now, I'm super glad he's back in the US, and standing in California.

[@dennissecret2857]

I was a fan of I'll Have Another because of Mario Guttierez who rode here in Vancouver at Hastings Park. After the Derby, I was sucked in and leapt for joy when IHA won the Preakness in that breathtaking stretch run. Yes, he would have won the Belmont. Bodemeister wouldn't have been able to get 1 1/2 miles. Too bad, but Mario has a nice career now.

[@micahbelcher8791]

What an amazing call. This race gives me goosebumps every time! Love it

[@leesanders6610]

This was a FANTASTIC and THRILLING Horse Race. 😃😍

[@rivaridge7211]

This race brings back a memory which now makes me laugh, but at the time I almost fell out of my chair (while watching the race on an outside big screen at the local race track) when "I'll Have Another" caught "Bodemeister" to win. On my Superfecta tickets (I bet the same thing twice) I had "Bodemeister" winning with "I'll Have Another" second - I correctly picked the third and fourth place finishers, so for a few seconds I felt it was won - and suddenly it wasn't. Oh well... I did like "I'll Have Another" and was disappointed when that beautiful horse was pulled from the Belmont Stakes - though happy that the owners/trainers made the prudent decision to protect their horse from what might have been a severe injury.

[@Hestermoffit]

[@massacrene1]

wow, closing your eyes and just listening to this like you were in the 20s and pretending you bet your life on Ill have Another is pretty awesome lol

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

Agreed however I have much respect for O'Neill not pushing him onto what would have been one epic national stage. He cared more for the horse than for the hype. Bonus points in my book! :)

[@janetjones5670]

These two horses were truly competitive athelete's they were always battling to the finish line I was predicting if I'll Have Another didn't get hurt they would battled to the end in the Belmont but we would've gotten our 12th wonder back in 2012

[@laurastuhler4791]

Nope, Bodemeister was never running in the Belmont, there was no chance he could get the extra distance.

[@AxionXIII]

Mario is a local jockey here in Vancouver, everyone watched both races up here, we couldn’t believe it!

[@rafaelfernandini329]

An $11,000 yearling sale. Amazing!

[@josealvarez9123]

The best race horse rivalry! Bode vs I ll have another!

[@gotch09]

One of the best races I've seen in years. Boy the 2012 TC run stunk.

[@briangray6858]

It's a shame that I'll have another didn't get a chance to achieve the triple crow because of his injury.

[@eugenelawson5255]

I can't remember ( i haven't googled it yet) I'll Have Another scratched in the Belmont because of tendon issues right?

[@kabong257]

Keep your eyes on the canuck! :)

[@michaelsharp3615]

cant believe they scratched ill have another

[@REALDEALMMA91]

Ill Have Another would have won the Triple Crown in my opinion ..... shame what tendonitis did to the poor horse that year ...

[@RCas-wt7cj]

One more please

[@doubleplay1919]

do horses actually have a will to win? i wonder (i dont want this other horse to beat me). Looks to me that IHA has a will to win

[@hiroismyhomeboy]

this horse was brilliant

“He went 3 quarters in 1 eleven and three”

[@geofflondon9913]

no one told I'll Have that he wasn't supposed to win :) - the stubby legged little Rocky Balboa - ( the little train that could

[@MrRigondeaux]

What an amazing horse

[@dylanlivers98]

I remember one day before the Belmont race when they said he wasn't going to race this horse was going to win the Belmont

[@joshaaronh]

Bodemeister should've won? I'll Have Another proved not once BUT TWICE that he was the better horse... So, how much did you lose on Bodemeister? I'm proud to say that I had $100 on IHA in the derby and $500 on him in the preakness (also had the trifecta 9-7-6)... If not for the injury, he would have won the triple crown...

[@SapphireBoy26]

My neighbor’s daughter worked for the owner of I’ll Have Another, so I kinda had a personal stake in this horse. It’s just a shame they couldn’t run him in the Belmont. He would’ve been the 12th TC winner.

[@paulgottfried5356]

I’ll Have Another, was the only horse I ever got emotional about. For the team, what an emotional roller coaster, from knowing you have an extremely special horse, that seems to just know when to kick it in, to hearing of the fracture. The only good out of all this, is the other poor bastard owner, didn’t have to witness, for a third time, his horse get run down by IHA in the stretch. …….and I’ll never forget that name either.

[@SaddleGirl234]

God I wish this horse was still able to race and have a second chance this year..

[@SmooveClipsss]

His closing speed was unmatched. This horse had different type of ability woulda won the triple crown.

[@japa9958]

He had that extra gear nobody else had that year. It was liked Mario pushed a button and said "go" and the horse said, "okay." LOL

[@SaddleGirl234]

No Ill Have Another had injured his leg. So he was pulled out last minute. He got injured so then he couldn't race so his owners retired him.

[@ronvonohlen8325]

I laid my whole check on I'll have another in the derby. $450 brought me Close to $7500. Then he wins the preakness and I walked away decent. When I found out they scratched him in the Belmont I was mad af!!! Still have mixed feelings on that decision and why it happened.
