Despite the absence of I'll Have Another, the 2012 Belmont Stakes was still able to provide viewers with a thrilling finish, as Union Rags surpassed Paynter for the lead in the final stretch, resulting in a photo finish.
Union Rags opened the day as a 3/1 favorite to win the race, while Paynter was a 7/2 favorite. Paynter led for most of the way, but failed to hold off Union Rags in the final 100 yards.
