Belmont Stakes Festival at Saratoga

The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival is roaring to life at Saratoga, packed with 25 stakes races—including 10 graded events and a $2 million Belmont Stakes finale this Saturday. This is the last year Saratoga hosts the Triple Crown’s third leg, with the event moving to rebuilt Belmont Park in 2027. Fans are already celebrating, like Marina Bruno, who bet on “Being Betty” after her aunt—and won big. The festival kicked off with seven stakes, six for New York-breds, and more action follows Thursday, including the Belmont Gold Cup. With a $11 million purse and electric energy, racing fans from everywhere are diving in—whether they’re seasoned bettors or chasing lucky names.
