# Belmont Stakes

Les Belmont Stakes est une course hippique de plat se déroulant au mois de juin sur l'hippodrome de Belmont Park, à Elmont, dans le Comté de Nassau, près de la ville de New York aux États-Unis.
C'est une course de groupe I réservée aux chevaux de 3 ans. C'est la troisième et dernière étape de la Triple Couronne américaine, après le Kentucky Derby et les Preakness Stakes. Elle se dispute sur la distance de 2 400 mètres, piste en sable. Elle est dotée de 1 500 000 $ (2015).
L'édition 1973 fut l'une des courses les plus mémorables de l'histoire hippique américaine, lorsque le crack Secretariat s'adjugea l'épreuve avec une avance surréaliste de 31 longueurs, établissant un record (2'24"00) jamais approché depuis un demi-siècle.
