The Belmont Stakes
June 8, 2024
Saratoga Race Course, Saratoga Springs, NY
The third leg of the coveted Triple Crown will not be contested at Belmont Park this year but moves to the iconic Saratoga Racetrack in Saratoga Springs, NY. What doesn’t change is that every June, three weeks following the Preakness, the horses run for what is called “The Test of a Champion.” The Belmont is the oldest of the three Triple Crown events, predating the Preakness by six years, the Kentucky Derby by eight. This year it will be run at a mile and a quarter distance.
This year’s Belmont will be the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes.
