Belmont Stakes 2012: I'll Have Another starts from post 11 in 12-horse field
Email
ELMONT, N.Y. – I’ll Have Another drew post 11 from which he’ll begin his quest to win the Belmont Stakes and become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978. A field of a dozen 3-year-olds was entered for the 1 1/2-mile Belmont, with the late addition of My Adonis.
I’ll Have Another, who is the 4-5 morning-line favorite on the track's line and is the 3-5 favorite on Daily Racing Form national handicapper Mike Watchmaker's line, figures to face his stiffest challenges in the Belmont from Dullahan and Union Rags, both of whom passed the Preakness after finishing third and seventh, respectively, in the Kentucky Derby. Dullahan drew post 5, while Union Rags will break from post 3 in the Belmont.
The remainder of the Belmont field, from the rail out, includes Street Life (post 1), Unstoppable U (post 2), Atigun (post 4), Ravelo’s Boy (post 6), Five Sixteen (post 7), Guyana Star Dweej (post 8), Paynter (post 9), Optimizer (post 10) and My Adonis (post 12).
“Being in post position 11 will allow us to see how the pace sets up,” trainer Doug O’Neill said of I’ll Have Another’s post in the Belmont.

From a handicapping perspective, only 3 have a chance to win this/ I'll Have Another -Paynter -bolero's Boy. Both Dullahan and union Skags will be close and make a run, but can't not win. i am certain that Dulahan can not close on the slow pace he will see saturday and i am pretty sure that union Skags won't make the distance, but is better than 6-7 of these.
When the pace sets up as Unstoppable in front with Paynter chasing and I'll have Another and nion Skags chasing, at a 1:13 4/5 clip, then Dullahan is out. Paynter takes over - I'll have another is close. Bolero's Boy starts to move and union Skags is pushing. Turning for home, it is evident that Paynter and I'll Have Another are the best, as Bolero's Boy/Dullahan continue to rally, with Bolero having a 6-7 length lead on Dullahan. These 4 to the wire with Union Skags as one who could hold on for 3rd or 4th, As IHA, Paynter and Bolero are 1-2-3 in some order. there you have it folks. A sane lucid thought on the race from a handicapper.

Best Bets
HOLY ACADEMY displayed respectable grass form last spring, before performing well on the Poly. She's stretching out off a third behind a runner-up who came back to finish second in the Ballade Stakes, and could be dangerous as the controlling speed in this optional claimer. QUEEN OF THE WAVES rallied wide from mid-pack to beat N1X allowance stock following a layoff when she last saw action March 29 at the Fair Grounds. She can obviously fire while fresh, and should be prominent under Da Silva, who broke her maiden.
