The Belmont Stakes marks the final race of the "Triple Crown." It was inaugurated in 1867, and traditionally is run on the fifth Saturday after the Kentucky Derby. The race is held at Belmont Park, a major Thoroughbred horse-racing facility located in Elmont, New York, just outside New York City. It first opened on May 4, 1905.
