Everything you need to consider for your bets: date and post time, horses, TV schedule, contenders and live stream.
Let’s talk about what is the Belmont Stakes: distance, prize pool, history and more!
The Belmont Stakes is recognized as the third jewel of the Triple Crown and the longest race, measuring 1 1/2 miles (12 furlongs), and horses that compete must run on the dirt track (also known as “Big Sandy”). It was originally run in 1867. It is regarded as one of America’s fairest racetracks due to its sweeping bends and extended homestretch.
Because the winning colt or filly gets draped with 1,700 white carnations, the race is commonly called as “The Test of Champions” or “The Run for the Carnations.” The Belmont Stakes takes place on the first or second Saturday in June, approximately five weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks after the Preakness Stakes.
In 2022, the Belmont Stakes will be worth $1.5 million, making it one of North America’s, if not the world’s, most profitable races.
The Belmont is known for Secretariat’s 31-length victory in 1973, which gave him the Triple Crown and set the current world record for 1 1/2 mile on a dirt track at 2:24.

Win: This is the most obvious and well-known of all the bets. Simply choose your favorite and place a wager on who will be the first to reach the winning post.
Place: If you believe your selection has a high chance but want to be safe, the place bet is excellent. You’ll win a little less, but if your pick comes in first or second, you’ll get rewarded.
Show: You’ll win if your selection finishes in the first three positions this time.
Exacta: Correctly predict the race’s winner and runner-up. This is a harder bet than the win bet, but it pays out more.
Trifecta: Put the first, second, and third in the correct order. The exacta winners will be envious if you get it right.
Superfecta: If you want to risk it all, this is the wager to make. You could win a lot of money if you correctly pick the first, second, third, and fourth numbers.
How does a horse qualify for the Belmont Stakes?
A thoroughbred horse has to be three years old to compete in the Belmont Stakes. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes champions are expected to be among the favorites in this third and final leg of the Triple Crown.
The top three finishers in the race will be assured a spot in the competition. Horses must be nominated into the field and pay a fee to compete. Horses competing in the 2022 Belmont Stakes will not have competed in either of the previous Triple Crown races. The intrigue for the 2022 Belmont Stakes field has grown even more.
Who won the Belmont Stakes in 2021?
