The Belmont Stakes has long been called and thought of as The Test of Champions. It is also a key factor in making The Triple Crown one of the toughest and most coveted prizes not only in horse racing but in all of sports.
This year and next, possibly more, The Belmont will be run at Saratoga Racecourse as part of what is being billed as The Belmont Stakes Festival.
On this episode of Past The Wire TV Jon takes a quick look at what this means to the sport historically and possibly into the future. he also touches on the possibility of changing The Triple Crown. It is well worth a listen and some consideration.
