Belmont Park
Description
Belmont Park is home to the famous Belmont Stakes—the third leg of horse racing's Triple Crown—along with nearly 100 total days of racing each year. Seasons run from April through mid-July and September through October. Gates open at 11:30am most days, and numerous dining and seating options are available. The venue is located in Elmont, in Nassau County—not Belmont, in Queens. But it's just a short trip to New York City by car or public transit. For more information, visit nyra.com.
