This week, FOX Sports is providing extensive coverage of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, highlighted by Saturday’s 157th edition of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets, from Saratoga Race Course.
You could make the case that Belmont Park has delivered more unforgettable New York sports moments than even Madison Square Garden over the past few decades.
The group of jockeys assembled to ride in this year’s Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets is a mix of accomplished veterans (nine Belmont wins among them) and rising talent (two riders will be making their Belmont debuts).
For the second straight year, the $2 million Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets is taking place at 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga Race Course, rather than its traditional configuration of 1 1/2 miles at Belmont Park.
