History of the Belmont Stakes
The Belmont Stakes is the third and final race of the Triple Crown, and it is considered one of the most prestigious races in American horse racing. The race was first run in 1867, and it has been held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, every year since 1905. In 2023, the race was moved to Saratoga Race Course due to renovations at Belmont Park.
Only 13 horses have ever won the Triple Crown, and the last horse to do so was Justify in 2018. The Belmont Stakes is also known for its long list of upsets, with many dark horses winning the race over the years.
