2026 Belmont Derby at a Glance

It may be the Belmont Derby. But names can be confusing these days. With Belmont Park set to re-open on Sept. 18, there are still a few mainstays from the Elmont, N.Y., racetrack taking up residence at a different locale. So, the Belmont Derby will be part of Saturday’s July 4 card at Saratoga Race Course.

Buy or Sell on Road to Breeders’ Cup: Stephen Foster Stakes Winner Magnitude

The primary focus of this series typically is: can this racehorse win at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships? With Stephen Foster Stakes winner Magnitude, that question, in my opinion has been answered emphatically “yes” in his two most recent starts.

Visiting and Betting Ellis Park: Tips for Cashing Tickets, and What to Know About the Track

Western Kentucky’s Ellis Park, located in Henderson, has had a resurgence in recent years. The small, rustic track located on the north banks of the Ohio River (on the Indiana side, yet still in Kentucky) has seen field size and purse levels rise after the introduction of historical horse racing machines to the facility as a new, year-round source of gaming revenue in 2012.

All-Time Leaders Reminisce as Final Day Arrives at Aqueduct

On Sunday afternoon, June 28, 2026, at about 5:50 p.m. ET, the thundering sound of hooves striking the ground at Aqueduct Racetrack will forever go silent.

After 132 years of serving New York racing fans, the ninth race Sunday will be the last one ever contested at the Big A as a transformation of downstate racing begins. Aqueduct joins the likes of the now-forgotten Jamaica Race Course and Brighton Beach as a past home of the sport in the bustling metropolis.
