Intro:
I'll Have Another was made the early 4-5 favourite to win the Belmont Stakes on Wednesday, in his quest to become the 12th Triple Crown champion and first in 34 years.
He will break from the 11th of 12 posts. Prior to I'll Have Another, nineteen previous horses have been tripped up in their Triple tries, including 11 since Affirmed was the last to win in 1978.Script:
I'll Have Another went into lockdown on Wednesday, moving into a secured barn shortly after the colt was made the early 4-5 favourite to win the Belmont.
It's hoped the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner will end the 34-year drought of Triple Crown winners.
But whether he's good enough will be decided on Saturday, when he breaks from the No. 11 post under Mario Gutierrez.
I'll Have Another will have to contend with 11 rivals, Dullahan, Paynter and Union Rags amongst them.
Owner-trainer Doodnauth Shivmangal will also run his colt Guyana Star Dweej as a 50-1 long shot.
