Vet: I'll Have Another didn't receive illegal medication

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The on-call veterinarian for the Triple Crown races says that Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I'll Have Another did not receive any illegal or unwarranted medication during his attempt to sweep the three-race series.

Dr. Larry Bramlage said Friday records provided to the New York State Racing and Wagering Board don't indicate anything inappropriate occurred involving I'll Have Another.

"No illegal, unprofessional, or medically unwarranted medication was given to this horse," Bramlage said in a statement. "We totally agree with the approach that Dr. Jim Hunt, attending veterinarian, took to get this horse ready for a possible Triple Crown run."

I'll Have Another was retired the day before the June 9 Belmont Stakes with what trainer Doug O'Neill said was an injury to the colt's left front tendon.
