The 2024 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets is shaping up to be a tremendous race, and it will headline an incredible and unique day of racing and wagering at historic Saratoga Race Course.
The venue for this Saturday’s Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets might be different but the goal remains the same for the 10 jockeys who’ll enter the starting gate for the final leg of racing’s Triple Crown in 2024. Winning the Belmont Stakes is a major achievement and most riders would put it at the very top of their resume.
When someone is honored for a remarkable career achievement, they often stand at the podium with trophy in hand and thank everyone who helped along their path to success. For jockey Jaime Torres, his ascent from inexperienced exercise rider to Preakness Stakes winner aboard Seize the Grey would be shocking to most.
Although there’s not a Triple Crown on the line this year, the 156th Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets is still generating a great deal of excitement. First of all, the $2 million race on Saturday, June 8, will be held for the first time in history at Saratoga Race Course, one of the crown jewel racetracks in the sport.
