The 2024 Belmont Stakes will be the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes, scheduled for June 8, 2024. This will be the first time the event will take place at Saratoga Race Course, due to renovations planned for Belmont Park.[1] Due to the smaller size of Saratoga's main track, the race is scheduled to be run at 1+1⁄4 miles (10 furlongs; 2,012 metres), shorter than the usual distance of 1+1⁄2 miles (12 furlongs; 2,414 metres).
On December 8, 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a US$ 455 million renovation plan for Belmont Park in Elmont, New York which would move the Belmont Stakes to Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York for the interim, with construction expected to last into 2025. The prize purse has been increased from $1.5 million to $2 million.[1]
The most recent time a Belmont Stakes was not held at Belmont Park was when it was held at Aqueduct Race Track in Ozone Park, Queens from 1963 to 1967, the last time Belmont Park was under construction.[1]
