Saturday’s running of the Belmont Stakes turned out as expected with favorite Tiz the Law besting the field. Also unsurprisingly, the New York Racing Association has revealed that Belmont Park took in an impressive haul over the course of the packed racing day.
All told, the 12-race card generated an all-sources handle of over $67 million with the Belmont Stakes itself responsible for a shade over $34 million of that. That’s down from 2019 when the track racked up an eye-popping $102 million, but an impressive tally nonetheless.
Tiz the Law remains the unquestioned favorite for this year’s running of the Kentucky Derby, but we still have a long summer of action to look forward to as we watch the complete field shake out.
