The 2020 Belmont Stakes was the 152nd running of the Belmont Stakes and the 109th time the event took place at Belmont Park. It was run June 20, 2020, and was won by Tiz the Law, the first New York-bred winner of the event since Forester in 1882.[1] The race is one of the three legs of the American Triple Crown, open to three-year-old Thoroughbreds.
Due to concerns relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the race, which is normally the last Triple Crown race of the season, was run as the first race in the 2020 Triple Crown series and was shortened to 1+1⁄8 miles (9 furlongs) instead of the usual 1+1⁄2 miles (12 furlongs), which it had been run at since 1926.[2] This was the first time since 1931 for the Triple Crown races to be run in a different order and the first time for the Belmont Stakes to be run as the opening leg of the Triple Crown.[3]
