The anticlimactic Belmont Stakes will take place today without I'll Have Another. Here are the odds and the names that you need to know for the remaining contenders.

Anticlimactic event

Not being able to see I'll Have Another try to make a run at history is very disappointing. Everyone who isn't jaded had embraced this horse and his jockey Mario Gutierrez.

As far as any outstanding issues surrounding trainer Doug O'Neill, only he truly knows if any wrongs were committed in the past. I'll wait for others to determine his fate before I draw any deeper conclusions in his regard. In the meantime, a race still needs to be run.

Of course Union Rags, Dullahan, Paynter and Street Life look like nice picks now.

How about long-shot Guyana Star Dweej? Maybe Doodnauth Shivmangal's choice of Kent Desormeaux will lead to a surprising secondary storyline on this June day in New York.

With whatever transpires, many of us were hoping to see if that 1978 torch would finally be passed from Steve Cauthen and Affirmed to new favored sons. While that can't happen, I still hope that a good race is run.

My best goes out to all racing fans around the world.
