The Belmont Stakes is known by a few nicknames, from the “Third Jewel of the Triple Crown” to “The Run for the Carnations” to “The Test of Champions.” That last nickname may not be as applicable to the 2024 Belmont Stakes, which will look a bit different to horse racing fans.
The race takes place on Saturday, June 8, with a 6:41 p.m. ET post time. However, it will not take place at its longtime home of Belmont Park, nor will it be contested over its traditional distance of 1½ miles.
