ELMONT, N.Y. — A final date for the Belmont Stakes has been officially set: June 20. The three Triple Crown races will be run out of order as all three of them have been postponed to later dates. The Kentucky Derby will run on September 5 and the Preakness will be the final race held on October 3.
However, the changing dates are not the only factor that has changed about the race. Since 1926 the Belmont has been a 1.5-mile run but this year the run will be at 1-1/8 mile as an intro for the horses.

Tiz The Law has some challengers in these horses but horse enthusiasts are still leaning towards the favorite.
Challenged by Nadal, who has four first-place finishes as well, those who are looking to bet on the Triple Crown will have to start with the Belmont Stakes this year.
After the Belmont is the Kentucky Derby and bettors should look no further than these horses, as their training groups and ownerships have a good thing going.
