The Belmont Stakes 2023: This Saturday at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, the Belmont Stakes, the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, will be contested for the 155th time. In 1973, the legendary horse Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by a record-setting 31 lengths; this Saturday’s race will commemorate the 50th anniversary of that victory.
Nine horses will compete in this year’s Belmont, also known as the “Test of the Champion” due to its duration. National Treasure, the winner of the Preakness Stakes, will compete at Belmont Park, whereas Mage will not.
Earlier in the week, numerous sporting events in the New York metropolitan area were cancelled due to wildfire pollution concerns in Canada. Due to poor air quality, Thursday’s practise sessions at Belmont Park were cancelled, but regular racing resumed on Friday.
