The record for attendance for the Belmont Stakes was set in 2004 when Birdstone upset Smarty Jones to deny him the Triple Crown. I don't have the exact figure, but it was 120,000+. thank you buddwd Buddwd ( talk) 21:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
According to the official Belmont site, distances varied from 1 1/8 miles to 1 3/8 miles until 1926 when it was set at the now standard 1 1/2 miles. I didn't want to edit the page until someone else rechecked my figures. Thanks -- Vclift
I think that the Belmont is held three weeks after the Preakness, which is usually the second Saturday in June, but sometimes the first.
Date of running would be useful. --squadfifteen
According to Dorothy Ours' research for her book on Man o' Roar, the Belmont Stakes at one time was raced in a fishook pattern, styled after the European Classic races. The actual start of the race was on the training track (the one mile track adjacent and perpendicular to the main track). The special course curved around the training track and then joined the main track for a long straight run to the special finish line, which differed from the regular finish line. (Man o' War. Dorothy Ours, St. Martin's Press, New York, ISBN: 0-312-34099-0,. page 12) I would love to add this to the Belmont Stakes article, but I don't know how long they used this course for the running of the race or when it started and when it ended. Anyway, if someone has time to find out more, it might be an interesting addition. Thanks! -- Kraynak
How many fillies have won the Belmont Stakes? And how many have ever run? I think that would be interesting to know. -fan 23:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
The table should be modified to show the distance run for that specific race. Currently, if you sort by time, you'll get misleading results, you'll think the fastest horses were bred before 1925. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.49.65 ( talk) 12:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Error in main page on Belmont Stakes. (copied below) Colonial Affair did not win the Triple Crown.
Other records Only James G. Rowe, Sr. and George M. Odom have won the Belmont Stakes as both jockey and trainer.
On June 5, 1993 thoroughbred racing's all-time leading female jockey, Julie Krone, became the first woman to win a Triple Crown race when she rode to victory in the Belmont Stakes aboard Colonial Affair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.4.94 ( talk) 15:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
As of this date, there have been 144 races of the Belmont Stakes and 138 Kentucky Derby races. See the official site http://www.belmontstakes.com/ for how many times the Belmont has been run and http://www.kentuckyderby.com/ for how many times the Kentucky Derby has been won. These statistics were incorrect so I fixed them. Missyagogo ( talk) 05:46, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
How can Big Brown be listed as 2008 winner before the race has even been run?
Thereis no mention (in the narrative) ofMan o' War's apparently unbroken record (for the distance that was run in those days). Kdammers ( talk) 07:53, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
I added a trivia bit about the color of the winners because I thought it was a fun fact. The source did not specify who was what, but I've identified that Belmar and Native Dancer were the greys, and High Echelon was the roan. Should I add a note to this effect? A lot of people find grey horses irresistible! Jlvsclrk ( talk) 18:26, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Why don't the articles have the race times included in the charts?
Example:
Isn't that statistic an important component of these races? Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 18:06, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
I am proposing that Broadcast History be moved into either the relevant section of United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing on television where there is already a decent amount of content (that admittedly needs some touching up), and/or Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing (United_States)#Sponsorship and broadcasting. Both articles more or less echo what is already listed here. In addition the other two Triple Crown articles do not have such Broadcast History sections. JRHorse ( talk) 00:53, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm new (to editing Wikipedia, not reading or using it), but shouldn't there be a page for the 2023 Belmont Stakes? There are pages for the 2023 Preakness and Kentucky Derby, and a page for the 2022 Belmont Stakes. Wikipedia warned me that an entire new page might be a bit ambitious for a noob, and I don't disagree, but the race is 17 days away (June 10, as noted in the main article.) Apologies in advance if this is covered somewhere in documentation. -Allie AllieKayBee ( talk) 12:59, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
