The Belmont is going to be run first of the three on June 20, and it has also been cut distance-wise from 1 1/2 miles to 1 1/8 miles! The purse has also been reduced.
The Kentucky Derby is second and will be held on September 5.
The Preakness Stakes will wrap up the Triple Crown and will be run on October 3.
New Triple Crown Dates and Distance Cut!

Re: New Triple Crown Dates and Distance Cut!
Will be interesting to see how many opt to run in the Travers at 10f in August?
If indeed, it even materializes?

Re: New Triple Crown Dates and Distance Cut!
This year’s TC won’t count in comparison to me. No test of champions. No TC. JMO.
I can’t wait for next year, which will hopefully be back to normal.
