I'll Have Another's injury has a resounding impact on the Belmont Stakes field. Not only is the race's favorite eliminated from contention, but every other horse's situation also changes.
Union Rags and Dullahan were previously considered I'll Have Another's biggest threats. Now, Dullahan is favored to steal the show with Optimizer right on his tail.
Other dependable horses, like Paynter and Street Life, now assume the "dangerous underdog" role.
Optimizer and late entrant My Adonis are now racing from I'll Have Another's old position. Middle-of-the-pack horses with middle-man odds.
The field's structure remains the same, but with I'll Have Another's shocking scratch, every horse bumps up a peg.
