Belmont Stakes at Saratoga

[PalaceOfFortLarned]

Welp, let the hype begin.

While there is still the Preakness in a couple of weeks, the Belmont this year takes center stage at the grand old place known as Saratoga.

Not the normal 12F, but the Kentucky Derby classic distance of 10F. Thinking we'll get a spectacular field as well.

Really starting to feel like one of those events of a lifetime.

Why do you think that? I just read that the blemont is going to be at Saratoga, but I have no idea why. Belmont being worked on?.

Seems like since COVID, the Triple Crown in in freefall.

Near term, it's the Belmont at Aqueduct. but the entire Belmont Stakes Festival will be held at Saratoga. Those are some wicked cards too. It sounds like the same thing will occur next year as well.

Any chance you have an extra seat for some straggler you don't know to come along?
