The 2024 Belmont Stakes was the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes, run on June 8, 2024 at 6:50 p.m. EDT; television coverage was broadcast by Fox and Fox Sports, with extra coverage by Fox Sports 1 & Fox Sports 2 and presented by New York Racing Association Bets.[1] The race is a historic Belmont because the race took place at Saratoga Race Course for the first time in its 161-year history, due to renovations planned for Belmont Park.[2][3] Because of the smaller size of Saratoga's main track, the race was run at 1+1⁄4 miles (10 furlongs; 2,012 metres), shorter than the usual distance of 1+1⁄2 miles (12 furlongs; 2,414 metres). Dornoch (17-1) co-owned by Jayson Werth scored an upset victory with a time of 2:01.64.[4]

The prize purse had been increased from $1.5 million to $2 million.[3]
