So, 'I'll Have Another' has been scratched from the Belmont, meaning no Triple Crown winner this year. It was done on the advice of the horse's equine chiropractor...

W?T?F?!!!

I'm not saying the person doesn't know horses, maybe they're quite good, but chiropractic is based on pseudoscientific bullshit with no provable basis. Yes, over the years chiropractors have, due no doubt to their 'specialty', discovered a few effective treatments and therapies, but SHIT! If I was a multi-millionaire horse breeder I would want a slightly more qualified opinion.

No shit.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?
