When the Belmont Stakes runs at Saratoga this year, Belmont ground rules will appley. WRGB reports this means that alcoholic beverages can not be brought inside the venue, including in coolers. Fans can still bring coolers full of food and drinks, but no alcohol. That policy is only in place for the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, and it will not effect the 40-day Saratoga summer meet starting on July 11, according to NYRA.
