Why the NYRA nasal strip ban?

So you are implying the reason for not having a work prior to the Belmont is a back issue with IHA? He had some kind of back procedure after the SA Derby.

No.

I don't care that he's not having a workout and I doubt it has anything to do with his back.

All of the published reports from people who have seen him seen in the AM the last few days seem to be positive.

A quick sweep of the PP's of nearly every starter of Doug O'Neill's in the past few years will show a sparse worktab.

His horses will go several weeks without a recorded workout, especially if they are running often, as is the case with this colt.

Arguably, I'll Have Another, with his daily strong 6-7f gallops (the one today was timed in :38 and change for the final 3f), is training harder for the race than those that will have a timed workout or two.
