Since its inception in 1867, the Belmont Stakes has become one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. The Belmont Stakes takes place five weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks after the Preakness Stakes each year.

Dornoch won the 2024 Belmont Stakes. The 2025 race will take place at the Saratoga Race Course on Saturday. The traditional Belmont Park venue in Elmont, New York, is undergoing a large-scale renovation.
