Description:
The Belmont Stakes marks one of the biggest days on the racing calendar each year, but the third jewel of the Triple Crown isn’t the only star attraction. Belmont Park will this year host a whopping six Grade 1 (the highest level of competition) stakes races on Belmont Stakes day, June 10, two of which are Breeders' Cup Challenge races offering the winner an expenses-paid berth to the year-end championships.
