The New York Racing Association has released the official logo for the 2016 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival.
Highlighted by the 148th running of the $1.5 million dollar Belmont Stakes (gr. I), the oldest—and at 1 1/2 miles the longest—leg of the Triple Crown, the three-day event will begin on Thursday, June 9, 2016, and conclude with the race's running on Saturday, June 11, 2016.
Registration is also underway for the inaugural Belmont Stakes Racing Festival ticket pre-sale, open to horseplayers and racing fans at BelmontStakes.com, or at NYRA.com. All registrants for the pre-sale will automatically be entered into the exclusive offering, and will be contacted in the coming weeks with additional instructions to easily secure their place in the pre-sale.
Dates for the 2016 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival pre-sale, as well as for the general ticket sale will be announced in January.
