Try Your Luck and Have Some Fun at the Belmont Stakes
About the Belmont Stakes This year will be the 138th Belmont Stakes and the history surrounding the stakes is quite impressive. The Belmont Stakes was named after a famous financier named August Belmont. This New York businessman was a well-known individual in many different facets of politics and high society in the area. Being quite involved with horseracing as well, the Belmont Stakes was named in honor of Mr. August Belmont who was quite the racing aficionado. With regard to the race itself, the Belmont Stakes is the oldest of the three Triple Crown events and was the first horseracing competition prior to Preakness and the Kentucky Derby. The first Belmont Stakes took place at Jerome Park in 1867 and is currently run at Belmont Park. Belmont Stakes 2006 The Belmont Stakes 2006 will start the party on the Friday night before the Saturday races. One may think that the Triple Crown races are all about the horses and bets but this is certainly not the case. At the Belmont Stakes, those who attend will be able to enjoy food, music and fun. The whole weekend will be filled with entertaining activities which individuals can engage in before and after the races take place. A trip to the Belmont Stakes 2006 is well worth it as there will be a little something for all who attend.
