The third leg of racing’s Triple Crown takes place this Saturday, June 10, as Belmont Park plays host to the “Test of the Champion,” the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets. Here’s what you need to know if you’re planning on heading to the 155th Belmont this weekend.

National Treasure (Eclipse Sportswire)

No Shortage of Star Racehorses This Year

This year’s Belmont Stakes is slated to feature Preakness Stakes winner National Treasure, last year’s champion juvenile colt Forte, and Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve third-place finisher Angel of Empire, among others. The winner of Belmont 155 will establish a firm place in the top two or three 3-year-old colts competing this year in advance of big summer races such as the TVG.com Haskell Stakes in July and the Runhappy Travers Stakes in August.

A Fan Favorite Highlights the Undercard

The Belmont day undercard is loaded with exciting stakes races. Perhaps the most notable one is the Hill ‘n’ Dale Metropolitan Handicap, also known as the “Met Mile.” This year’s edition is headlined by Cody’s Wish, who won a race in the 2022 Breeders’ Cup last fall and came back to win his 5-year-old bow last month. Cody’s Wish will carry a five-race winning streak into the Met Mile. The horse is named after Cody Dorman, a young man living in Kentucky who has a rare genetic disorder. Dorman and his family met Cody’s Wish when he was a foal and have formed a special bond since then that has received national coverage.

Belmont Park is located off exit 26B on the Cross Island Parkway. Belmont offers parking for those traveling to the race by car.

Try the Belmont Jewel
