The Belmont Stakes is an American Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbred horses, run yearly at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. It’s the third and last leg of the American Triple Crown, following the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. The Belmont Stakes is without doubt one of the most prestigious races on the planet, and tickets to the occasion are extremely sought-after.
The Belmont Stakes was first run in 1867, and it has been received by a few of the best horses in historical past, together with Secretariat, Man o’ Battle, and American Pharoah. The race is run over a distance of 1 1/2 miles, and it’s thought of to be a real take a look at of a horse’s stamina and velocity.
