2018 Belmont Stakes

 

Location: Belmont Park, New York, United States

Date: Saturday June 9

Purse: US$ 1.5 million

Distance: 1.5 miles (2414 meters)

Criteria: 3-year-olds (126 lb for colts, 121 lb for fillies)

 

more on that...

 

Belmont Stakes are the 3rd of the 3 races of the well known US Triple Crown...

and this year, for the 22nd time, we have a horse that won the first 2 "chapters" (Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes): his name is Justify

but the Belmont Stakes are longer and quite different from the other 2 races, so the Triple was completed only 12 times, the last one being the 2015 triumph by American Pharoah (and before him, the last TC hero was Affirmed in 1978)...

 

all you need to know on the Triple Crown races, it's on this website:

Still, all those American races don't even come close to races like the Epsom Derby and those kind of races that were already held well over 200 years ago :bowdown:

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
