The field is set for the 158th running of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets to be held at 1 ¼ miles at Saratoga Race Course for the third consecutive year.
For the 10th year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2026 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2026 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”
The field for the 158th Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets has been finalized, and the final jewel of Thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown will run Saturday evening, June 6, at Saratoga Race Course in front of tens of thousands of fans on site and a national television audience on FOX.
One of six Grade 1 races taking place on Belmont Stakes day June 6 at Saratoga Race Course is the $500,000 Jaipur Stakes, a turf sprint contested at 5 ½ furlongs.
