Ice Horse

California Chrome, which won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes while wearing nasal strips, may be held out of the Belmont Stakes if the New York Racing Association does not allow the horse to wear the strip. New York Times:

The trainer Art Sherman raised that possibility Sunday morning, saying the co-owner Perry Martin might decide to hold California Chrome out of the Belmont Stakes if the c**t is not allowed to wear a nasal strip for the third leg of the Triple Crown.

California Chrome has won six straight since Martin suggested to Sherman that he try the strip on the c**t. It looks like a giant Band-Aid and is intended to enhance breathing
The rule in New York is that horses — and jockeys — cannot wear anything which isn’t approved by the stewards. That includes the nasal strips, which is said to improve the horse’s breathing. It’s unknown whether New York will allow it, and a decision would not be made until Chrome’s trainers make a formal request.

Could a chance for the first Triple Crown winner since 1978 (Affirmed) be denied because of nasal strips?

Thoughts? Should California Chrome be allowed to wear a nasal strip for the Belmont?
