Three weeks after the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes completes the Triple Crown series for the 3-year-olds and this year excitement is building the closer we get to the race with Triple Crown on the line. On June 7 at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome will try to extend his winning streak to seven in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont, with live coverage of the classic race beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC that Saturday.
That broadcast is just the anchor leg of a week of outstanding television and radio content. NBC Sports Network also will air Belmont Classics on June 5 at 5 p.m. ET and June 6 at 4 p.m. in addition to providing live coverage of Belmont's Friday races and the Belmont Stakes undercard as well as post-race analysis.
Follow HRTV’s Pursuit of the Crown and showcasing of previous Triple Crown wins and attempts in the days leading up to the Belmont and be sure to listen to At the Races with Steve Byk and HRRN all week for news, interviews, updates and analysis. There is no better time to be a fan of horse racing. Bet on it!
