With I'll Have Another abruptly retiring from racing due to tendinitis, Dullahan became the favorite at the 2012 Belmont Stakes.
The race lost some of its luster with the scratching of I'll Have Another, which would have been attempting to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. But Dullahan (9-5 odds as of 10:30 a.m. ET) and Union Rags (3-1) lead a field that's still strong.
