Belmont Park Demolition Halts Belmont Stakes
Race Set for Saturday at Different Location
The 2023 Belmont Stakes, scheduled for Saturday, June 10th, will not take place at its traditional home, Belmont Park. Due to ongoing demolition work at the track, the race will instead be held at Elmont, New York's Belmont Park.
Demolition Delays Racing
The New York Racing Association (NYRA) cited the ongoing demolition as the reason for the change of venue. Racing at Belmont Park was canceled Thursday, raising concerns about the fate of the Belmont Stakes. However, officials have assured the public that the show will go on.
155th Belmont Stakes to Proceed
The 155th edition of the Belmont Stakes is scheduled for Saturday, and all eyes are on the track. Despite the demolition work, officials are confident that the race will be a success. New York Governor Kathy Hochul had previously warned that the Belmont Stakes could be called off, but the NYRA has since confirmed that it will proceed as planned.
Elmont to Host the Stakes
Elmont, New York, will play host to this year's Belmont Stakes. The race is scheduled to start at 6:50 pm on Saturday. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure their seats and witness one of the most prestigious races in the world.
