Saturday’s Belmont Stakes day card, highlighted by Dornoch’s victory in the 156th running of the $2 million Belmont Stakes, generated all-sources handle of $125,748,941 which is a New York Racing Association record for a non-Triple Crown year.
The 2024 all-sources handle figure is an increase of more than 6.3 percent over the previous non-Triple Crown record of $118,283,455, which was set in 2023.
On-track handle for the 14-race Belmont Stakes day card, which included six Grade 1 races among nine total stakes, was $14,854,311.
All-sources handle for the Belmont Stakes, which was carded as race 12 of 14, was $60,904,557.
A sellout crowd of 50,000 witnessed history as the Belmont Stakes racing festival was held at Saratoga for the first time to allow for the uninterrupted construction of a new Belmont Park, the Long Island home of the Belmont Stakes.
