Belmont Stakes – Your 25-day Guide

Racing will return to Belmont Park for a 25-day Festival of Racing, which will showcase 40 stakes races including nine Grade 1 stakes.

The New York Racing Association announced that a new look spring/summer meet at Belmont Park would take place after racing had been paused at the famous track since March 15 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Racing in the state will begin without fans on June 3.

It features five consecutive Saturday meets featuring Grade 1 action.
