History

Renamed from the Jamaica Handicap in 2014, the Belmont Derby was also moved to July when it runs as a 1 ¼ mile race at Belmont on the turf for 3-year-olds. The race was first run in 1929 and used to be a sprint race before gradually getting longer. Run at Belmont Park, the race used to be open to older horses with winners such as Fighting Fox, Jet Pilot, Dance Spell, Waquoit, Pennine ridge, Stroll, Artie Schiller and Court Vision.
