Get ready for the final leg of the Triple Crown.
The 2026 Belmont Stakes will be held on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course instead of Belmont Park, which is currently undergoing significant renovations. While there won’t be a Triple Crown winner this year, the event should still provide plenty of entertainment for horse racing enthusiasts.
After winning the Kentucky Derby and skipping the Preakness Stakes, Golden Tempo will participate in the Belmont Stakes. Trainer Cherie DeVaux is hoping to see another victory, but Golden Tempo will have to beat top contenders like Renegade and Chief Wallabee.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 Belmont Stakes.
