Traditionally contested at 1 ½ miles and held as the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, this year’s Belmont Stakes will be run at a distance of 1 1/8-miles to properly account for the schedule adjustments to the Triple Crown series and overall calendar for 3-year-olds in training. This year’s race will be the opening leg of the Triple Crown for the first time in history.

The 2020 Belmont Stakes was originally scheduled for Saturday, June 6, but was pushed back by two weeks to June 20. The revised date and distance follows the previously announced rescheduling of the Kentucky Derby, from Saturday, May 2, to Saturday, Sept. 5 as well as the rescheduling of the Preakness Stakes from May 16 to Oct. 3.

In addition to the Belmont Stakes, Belmont Stakes day will include several other Grade 1 races, including the $300,000 Longines Acorn Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at one mile on the dirt; the $250,000 Jaipur Stakes presented by America’s Best Racing for 4-year-olds up going 6 furlongs on the turf; and the Woody Stephens presented by Claiborne Farm for 3-year-olds going 7 furlongs on the dirt.
