Triple crown

If you want to attend the 2024 Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, you need to know about these two big changes.

Saratoga Race Course has long been a crown jewel of the New York Racing Association. Soon the historic race track may host the biggest crown in horse racing, the Triple Crown.

Saturday will be the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of horse racing's jewel, the Triple Crown. As the anticipation builds for fans to watch Forte battle Tapid Trice and National Treasure this weekend, the attention of many in the horse racing community has already begun to look north to Saratoga, horse racing's summer home.

Triple Crown contender I’ll Have Another and 11 other horses will run at the 144th Belmont Stakes on Saturday. While I’ll Have Another races to become the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 to win the Triple Crown, the other horses will attempt to spoil his coronation and win their share of the $1 million purse.

I’ll Have Another won the 137th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimilico Race Track in Baltimore on Saturday to become the first horse since 2008 to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown.
