I’ll Have Another’s chances of making horse racing history got a lot stronger today as it was announced by ESPN that Bodemeister will drop out of the Belmont.

Bodemeister had finished second to I’ll Have Another at the Preakness and Kentucky Derby in two of the most remarkable and exciting horse races I have ever seen. The news was confirmed by Bodemeister’s trainer Bob Baffert who nicknamed his horse after his son, Bode.

I’ll Have Another is capturing significant Canadian attention. The horse’s jockey, Mario Gutierrez spent six years in Vancouver, and its owner is J. Paul Reddam, a Windsor philosopher.

The Vancouver Canucks are only six wins away from becoming the first Canadian based team since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens to win the Stanley Cup.

So far in the Western Conference Final against the San Jose Sharks, Henrik Sedin, the 2010 Hart Trophy Winner, has been the best Canuck, as he has scored one goal and four assists.

Henrik, is a +1 against San Jose, after going a combined -8 against the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators in the first two rounds.

Another Canuck that has stepped up in the Western Conference Final is Kevin Bieksa, who has two goals and an assist. In game two, he had the Gordie Howe hat trick, as he also surprisingly fought Patrick Marleau in the second period.

For the Sharks to get back in the series, they may have to get a little less physical. They took too many undisciplined penalties in game two that cost them. Game three is tonight at 7pm in San Jose (CBC) and game four is also in San Jose on Sunday at 1pm (NBC).
