Although NYRA has floated the possibility of bringing the Belmont Stakes back to its home track of Belmont next year, it’s reasonable to believe that Saratoga will host the third leg of racing’s Triple Crown for a third year in a row in 2026. The Daily Gazette reports that’s because, while the four new racing surfaces at Belmont will be operational, and in fact should be open for training at various points this year, the grandstand will still be only partially complete in June of 2026, when the Belmont Stakes traditionally is held.
