Belmont Park rebuild nears the finish line as the Belmont Stakes is a year from returning home
The Belmont Stakes will return to Belmont Park in one year after a three-year break while renovations were done and races were held at Saratoga Race Course.
Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher emphasized that returning the event to Belmont Park is very important.
Upon Belmont Park's limited reopening on September 18, Aqueduct Racetrack will close to focus New York racing at two venues.
Officials describe the renovated Belmont Park as a modern, state-of-the-art facility designed with best practices from the ground up.
