A Brief History of the Belmont Stakes

They don’t call it the “Test of The Champion” for nothing. The Belmont Stakes, the last and longest leg of the US Triple Crown, is a historic Thoroughbred horse race held in New York. The race was first run in 1867 at the Jerome Park Racetrack in NYC before moving to the nearby Morris Park Racecourse in 1890. The race stayed there until 1905, when it was moved to the newly opened Belmont Park, where a majority of the races have taken place.

The race was named for August Belmont, Sr., a German-American politician and racehorse breeder/owner who financed the first running. His son, August Belmont, Jr. was a successful owner/breeder in his own right, and also oversaw the construction of Belmont Park.

After the conclusion of the race, winners take part in several long-standing traditions. The winning horse is draped with a blanket of white carnations, while the winning owner is presented with the August Belmont Trophy. While the permanent trophy is only used during the ceremony, owners, jockeys and trainers take home an engraved silver tray for their victory.

In the races 100-plus year history Belmont Stakes has seen its share of notable entries, many of them obviously being Triple Crown winners. Past entries that claimed the Triple Crown with a win at Belmont include Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977),  Affirmed (1978), American Pharoah (2015), and Justify (2018).
