The Belmont Stakes is going to be a unique event this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditionally the final leg in horse racing's Triple Crown, this year it will be the first.ย 

There won't be any fans in attendance, either, in what is a temporary reality for live sporting events due to the coronavirus. And the race was postponed by two weeks and will beย 1โ…› miles long rather than the traditional 1ยฝ miles.ย 

In a statement by theย New York Racing Association, the organization noted the distance was changed "to properly account for the schedule adjustments to the Triple Crown series and overall calendar for three-year-olds in training."

As for the other races in the Triple Crown, theย Kentucky Derby was moved from May 2 to September 5 and the Preakness Stakes was changed from May 16 to October 3.

As for the horses, Tiz The Law (6-5) is currently the betting favorite, followed by Sole Volante (9/2), Dr Post (5-1) andย Tap it To Winย (6-1).

It won't be a traditional experience at the Belmont this year, as everyone is forced to watch from home. But as live sports slowly return, it will be an interesting litmus test to see how such a prominent event functions without spectators in the stands.ย
