While I agree with you about IWCG's chances here, I don't think the Belmont really favors one particular style over another that much. Look no further than the last two Belmonts and you will find closers winning. Afleet Alex and Jazil were way back there down the backstretch.
The mistake most people make in this race I think (and the one I MIGHT be making with Hard Spun) is thinking that front-runners have no shot. That is not the case. If a front-runner can relax, he can be a factor.
ANY running style can win this race. It is just about who has the lungs for it.
