AMERICA'S TOP THOROUGHBREDS as of June 15

Like most major sporting events this year, New York’s most important horse race, the Belmont Stakes, was rescheduled. The “Test of the Champion” will be run this Saturday, June 20, without any fans allowed on site. To bring fans and horseplayers closer to the action on Belmont Stakes day, America’s Best Racing is proud to announce that it will be live streaming three hours of continuous coverage via Facebook Live and Twitter Live beginning at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday. 

After several weeks of uncertainty while many aspects of daily life were halted due to a global health pandemic, horse racing re-emerged under a “new normal” – and last month, the 2020 Triple Crown was finalized and rearranged on a timeline that has never existed before in the series’ history and probably won’t again.

The horse racing world like all other areas of society continues to make changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health crisis. Most racetracks currently operating are doing so without spectators, and have instituted strict safety screening protocols for essential employees who are already on the grounds to provide daily care for horses.
