The 152nd running of the Belmont Stakes will be run in June as the opening leg of the Triple Crown.
The Belmont Stakes will take place on June 20 ahead of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, which have been rescheduled for the fall. This marks the first year the Belmont will be run first.
No fans will be in attendance at the event due to the coronavirus pandemic. The race will be run at a distance of 1 1/8 miles instead of its usual 1 1/2 miles due to the changes in the Triple Crown schedule and the horses' training.
