Horse Racing
The Belmont Stakes is the longest and most demanding of the three Triple Crown races — run at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, over 1.5 miles on dirt, it is known as 'The Test of the Champion' for its ability to sort out horses that have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness from those truly worthy of the Triple Crown.
When a Triple Crown candidate arrives at Belmont Park having already won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, the event becomes the most watched race in America — with attendance regularly exceeding 100,000 and television audiences in the tens of millions. The anticipation of a Triple Crown completion creates an atmosphere at Belmont Park that is among the most electric in all of American sport.
Belmont Park is one of the grandest and most historic racecourses in America. Built in 1905, the track features a main dirt oval of 1.5 miles — the largest in North America — with a capacity capable of handling the enormous crowds that Triple Crown races attract.
The Clubhouse at Belmont Park provides the most comfortable and comprehensive hospitality experience at the track. Clubhouse seats have dedicated dining options, access to premium bars and reserved grandstand positions with excellent sightlines. The Clubhouse is available for individual ticket purchase or as part of a packaged VIP experience.
For groups, private suite hire at Belmont Park provides an exclusive corporate experience that elevates the Belmont Stakes from a racing day to a fully managed event.
The Belmont Stakes is held on a Saturday in mid-June at Belmont Park, which is located approximately 20 miles east of Manhattan. The proximity to New York City makes the Belmont Stakes an excellent foundation for a broader New York trip:
Travel to the track: Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) runs direct service to Belmont Park station from Penn Station in Manhattan. The journey takes approximately 35 minutes. Race day trains are crowded — plan to travel early.
Accommodation: Manhattan hotels at a range of price points are the most convenient base. For race day, ensure early departure — Belmont Park fills quickly on the stakes day.
Combining with New York: A Belmont Stakes VIP trip pairs naturally with 2–3 nights in New York City, combining the race experience with the city's extraordinary restaurant, culture and entertainment offer.
