Expert Analysis of the 2026 Belmont Stakes at Saratoga

About this episode

This episode provides expert analysis of the 2026 Belmont Stakes, highlighting its unique features and changes from previous years.

Kentucky Derby rivals return to the racetrack for the Belmont Stakes and Kentucky Sports Radio has everything you need to know about the third leg of the Triple Crown. This is not your typical Belmont Stakes. Like the Preakness three weeks ago, this year’s Triple Crown race is away from its home track, firing off in upstate New York at Saratoga instead of on Long Island. It also makes the race shorter by a quarter of a mile. Instead of the 12-furlong marathon, for the third-straight year the Belmont will be the same distance as the Derby, the classic distance of 1 1/4 miles. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
