Renovations to Belmont Park are expected to pave the way for the racetrack to host the Belmont Stakes in June 2026. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has unveiled a construction timeline that includes the $455 million project being completed by fall of that year. That would allow the Breeders' Cup to return to the remade New York track in November 2026. Breeders' Cup officials in a letter to the New York Racing Association expressed support for the project even while not committing to a year in which to hold the event at Belmont Park.
