History of the Belmont Stakes
The Belmont Stakes is the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the most prestigious series of horse races in the United States. As the oldest of the three races, the Belmont Stakes has a rich history dating back to 1867, when it was first held at Jerome Park Racetrack in the Bronx. In 1905, the race moved to its current home at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
The Belmont Stakes is known as the "Test of the Champion" due to its distance of 1 1/2 miles, making it the longest of the Triple Crown races. It has been the site of some of the most memorable moments in horse racing history, including Secretariat's record-breaking victory in 1973, which still stands as the fastest time ever recorded for the race.
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's Triple Crown win, and the Belmont Stakes will be a focal point of the celebrations. Fans can watch and bet on the race using the official app of the Belmont Stakes, NYRA Bets. As the official betting app of the New York Racing Association, NYRA Bets provides a safe and convenient way to wager on the race from anywhere in the country.
Whether you're a seasoned horse racing fan or a newcomer to the sport, the Belmont Stakes is a must-see event. From the pageantry of the post parade to the thrill of the final stretch run, it's a race like no other. Don't miss your chance to bet on the Belmont Stakes and witness history in the making.
