Stakes Information
The Belmont Stakes is the third and final leg of the “Triple Crown.” The race takes place exactly five weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks after the Preakness Stakes. It’s always run on a Saturday and the attention of this race grows if a horse wins the first two legs of the “Triple Crown.”

Union Rags claimed the Belmont Stakes in 2012 at a 3/1 price. The race lost a lot luster when "Triple Crown" hopeful I'll Have Another was scratched the day before to injury. Union Rags was ridden by jockey John Velazquez and trained by Michael Matz. Check out all the past winners of the Belmont Stakes here. |
