The 152nd Belmont Stakes will be run June 20 in New York without fans and serve as the opening leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown for the first time in the sport’s history.
The New York Racing Association unveiled the rescheduled date for the Belmont today, which will also be contested at a shorter distance than usual. The race will run 1 1/8 miles instead of the 1 1/2-mile ”test of the champion” that has been the race’s trademark for almost a century.
