FILE - In this Sept. 13, 1962, file photo, Carry Back yawns in his stall at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. When jockey Johnny Sellers asked the horse for more on what should have been a thrilling stretch run to victory, the horse "spit the bit" _ a racing term meaning he simply didn't feel like running anymore, resulting in a seventh-place finish behind 65-1 long shot Sherluck. As I'll Have Another prepares to attempt to win the Belmont Stakes in his quest to become the 12th Triple Crown champion and first in 34 years on Saturday, June 9, 2012, The Associated Press takes a look at some of the 19 horses who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, but came up short in the final leg of the Triple Crown, and how the race unfolded.
