Due to ongoing renovation work at Belmont Park in Long Island, the Saratoga Race Course will again host the world famous race in 2026 for a third and final time.
Saratoga Race Course is gearing up for a blockbuster 2025, offering two exciting additions to its already legendary summer schedule: an expanded Belmont Stakes Racing Festival and a brand-new July 4th Racing Festival
It's an extra special year starting this week in Saratoga, as the Belmont Stakes will run on Saturday due to construction at its regular New York City area home. Belmont will run in Saratoga again next year, as well. The Travers Stakes will run as it has every year since 1864 in August.
