Getting Your Fix:

Feeling lucky? Many online and retail sportsbooks will be offering odds on the race.

A Legacy of Champions: The Belmont Stakes boasts the title of oldest Triple Crown race, predating the Preakness (1873) by six years and the Kentucky Derby (1875) by eight. First run in 1867 at Jerome Park Racetrack, the race was named after August Belmont Sr., a prominent financier and horseman.

Changing Tracks: The Belmont Stakes has found its home at several prestigious locations throughout its history. After Jerome Park, it moved to Morris Park Racecourse and eventually settled at Belmont Park in 1905, where it remained except for a brief stint at Aqueduct during renovations. This year, Saratoga Race Course takes center stage due to ongoing work at Belmont Park.

A Distance of Grit: The Belmont Stakes is known for its grueling distance. While the distance fluctuated in its early years, it has settled at its current length of 1 ½ miles since 1926, demanding exceptional stamina and endurance from the competing thoroughbreds.

Legends Made Here: The Belmont Stakes trophy has been hoisted by some of racing’s greatest champions. Names like Man o’ War (1920), Sir Barton (1919, the first Triple Crown winner), and Secretariat (1973, with an astonishing 31-length victory) are forever etched in Belmont history.
