I’LL HAVE ANOTHER – WON THE PREAKNESS MAY 19, 2012 BEFORE A RECORD CROWD OF 121,309. PREAKNESS FIRST PLACE PRIZE OF $600K INCREASED I’LL HAVE ANOTHER’S CAREER EARNINGS TO OVER $2.6M.

Trainer Doug O’Neill commented after the Kentucky Derby win to the Baltimore Sun, Steven Petrella.

        I'll Have Another recovered very well from the Derby and has progressed leading up the Preakness, according to O'Neill, who said that is in part because of the rehabilitative work Jones performed.  “After the fanfare and celebration ended at Churchill Downs, the winner returned to his stall for a cool down and wash. He got a massage from Jones, drank a bucket of water and fell sound asleep for six hours, snoring the whole time.”

        “He's done a tremendous job of keeping the horses happy, and open,” O'Neill said. “And that has a been a huge part of the [team success] surrounding the horse.”
