Carrie Stroup here with an urgent news flash as the 2012 Belmont Stakes odds have been updated already at Sportsbook with the announcement that I’ll Have Another has been scratched from Saturday’s race.
While Dullahan has become the new favorite at 9/5 odds, he is not bred for the mud and rain is in the forecast come race time.
Union Rags at 3/1 is a proven mud horse.
Trainer Doug O’Neill on Friday confirmed that I’ll Have Another had a “little problem” in his left hind leg, and then suggested the thoroughbred will never race again.
I'll Have Another was set to attempt to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. The horse was listed as the odds-on favorite at 4-5 in Wednesday's morning line.

Atigun 20/1

Ravelos Boy 40/1
