The Belmont Stakes is known as the final jewel of the Triple Crown, consisting of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes, run on three tracks over five weeks.
In 2022, Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and Preakness winner Seize the Grey are set to race in the Belmont Stakes, marking the first time since 2013 for both winners to compete.
The last horse to sweep the Preakness and Belmont after failing to win the Kentucky Derby was Afleet Alex in 2005.
In the previous year, Jena Antonucci became the first woman to train a winner of a Triple Crown race when Arcangelo defeated Forte at the Belmont Stakes.
