Belmont Stakes Odds UPDATED: Dullahan New Favorite, I'll Have Another Scratched (PHOTOS)

Who Is The New Belmont Favorite?

Most people were disappointed to learn I'll Have Another was scratched from the 2012 Belmont Stakes due to injury, but there are 11 groups in Elmont, N.Y. with some reason to be happy. For the remaining 11 horses competing in the Belmont Stakes, the odds of victory just got a little bit better.

After the post positions were set earlier this week, I'll Have Another was established as an early 4/5 favorite to win at Belmont and become the first horse to win the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978. With I'll Have Another out of the race, Dullahan is the new morning line favorite at 9/5.

Owned by Donegal Racing, Dullahan finished third in the Kentucky Derby and skipped the Preakness. Before I'll Have Another was scratched, Dullahan was considered among the likeliest to spoil the Triple Crown bid. Now he has gone from potential usurper to favorite.

Who is the best choice -- and best value -- from the horses still set to race?

1. Street Life, 8/1
