I'll Have Another is shown off to the crowd event though he isn't running
Over 85,000 people showed up for the running of the 144th Belmont Stakes even with I'll Have Another scratched from the race. Union Rags took the win this year in the final stretches of the race with Paynter coming in 2nd. Atigun, the long shot came in 3rd bringing in $496 on a $2 wager. All in all it was a great day, but the race will always be remember for the absence of I'll Have Another.
