Belmont Stakes could be moved to Saratoga Race Course for 2024 and 2025

Belmont Stakes could be moved to Saratoga Race Course for 2024 and 2025

The Belmont Stakes could be relocated to Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York next year, an earlier-than-anticipated move for the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown.

The New York Racing Association hopes to hold the Belmont at historic Saratoga in 2024 and 2025. The move, which had already been committed to for 2025 because of a $455 million renovation of Belmont Park, is subject to the approval of an oversight board and the New York State Gaming Commission.

A final decision is expected in the coming months.

NYRA vice president of communications Patrick McKenna said Wednesday the organization envisions two years of the race at Saratoga “to allow for the uninterrupted construction of a new and completely re-imagined Belmont Park.”

There is no plan to move the Belmont Stakes anywhere permanently. There is no plan to change the race’s timing from its traditional spot on the calendar in early June, three weeks after the Preakness and five weeks after the Kentucky Derby.

“The transformational project to re-imagine Belmont Park and create one of the finest sports and entertainment destinations in the country will require temporary adjustments to the traditional racing schedule,” McKenna said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. “A Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Couse would capture the sports world’s attention while driving tourism and economic impact for upstate New York.”

The Belmont Stakes, the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown, is considering a move to Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York for 2024 and 2025. Initially planned for 2025 due to a $455 million renovation at Belmont Park, the proposed relocation still requires approval from an oversight board and the New York State Gaming Commission. The New York Racing Association (NYRA) aims for this change to facilitate ongoing construction at Belmont Park. However, Patrick McKenna, NYRA’s vice president of communications, confirmed there’s no intention to permanently shift the Belmont Stakes or alter its early June schedule. The objective behind the Belmont Park renovation is to craft a top-tier sports and entertainment destination. A temporary Belmont Stakes at Saratoga is expected to attract significant attention and boost tourism and the economy in upstate New York.
