New Yorkers came out in the thousands to enjoy a great day of racing, food, drink, fashion, and friendship at the 154th Belmont Stakes. Fans congregated at spacious Belmont Park with a cap on attendance but not on enjoyment to celebrate a fantastic day of horse racing, and the talented team at Eclipse Sportswire was on site to capture the moments in this photoessay.

After an eventful five weeks that began with one of the most exciting upsets in horse racing history, the final leg of the Triple Crown is fast approaching, with the 154th Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets set for Saturday, June 11, at Belmont Park.

After a busy Memorial Day weekend, horse racing coverage on TV, radio and livestreaming continues to build in anticipation of the Belmont Stakes Festival, a three-day smorgasbord of racing at Belmont Park starting Thursday, June 9 and ending Saturday, June 11 with the 154th running of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets.

The second jewel of the 2022 Triple Crown is in the books, and in terms of national media attention, a pause is in order after Early Voting’s win last Saturday in the Preakness Stakes.

The Preakness Stakes serves as the middle jewel of the Triple Crown but it also has evolved into a destination event for sports and music fans across the country — half elite day of horse racing, half festival.
