Belmont Stakes 2012 Start Time: Latest Post Times for Triple Crown Event

Despite I'll Have Another being forced to retire from the 2012 Belmont Stakes, according to Beth Harris of the Associated Press, there is plenty of excitement as other contenders see the door swing wide open. 

Dullahan, Union Rags, Unstoppable U, Street Life and Atigun are all expected to be in the thick of things with their great post position. Others could make headway if they can maintain endurance on the lengthy track. 

Some believe that post position doesn't matter as much at Belmont because of the length of the track, but we'll find out if it does on Saturday.
