Belmar (foaled in 1892) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse owned by the Preakness Stables of Preakness, New Jersey.
Trained by Edward Feakes, future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame jockey Fred Taral rode him to victory in in the 1895 Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
In 1896, Belmar won the inaugural running of the Manhattan Handicap at Morris Park Racecourse in The Bronx, New York.
In his later racing career, Belmar was owned by the handicapper "Pittsburgh Phil" and was trained by William "Bill" Smith. In a 1908 interview, Bill Smith said that Belmar was one of the best horses he ever trained and was notorious for winning his races in a close finish, usually by a head or neck. Belmar was standing at the farm of T.L. Watt in Westchester County in 1908 as a stallion for the breeding bureau.[1]
