The New York Racing Association will also offer exclusive pre-sale opportunities from January 24-25, 2017.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 24, all 2016 returning reserved seat and premium hospitality ticket buyers, as well as top-tier NYRA Bets members, will have access to the pre-sale. All 2016 general admission ticket buyers, NYRA Bets members, as well as fans who sign up online for this exclusive presale at NYRA.com, will be able to participate in the presale starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, January 25.

Highlighted by the 149th running of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes, the oldest and most challenging leg of horse racing's vaunted Triple Crown, the three day mega-event will begin on Thursday, June 8, 2017, and conclude on Saturday, June 10, 2017. 

 "Over the last several years, the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival has become one of New York's "must-see" events, featuring several days of world class horse racing and entertainment," said Chris  Kay, NYRA President & CEO. "This May, the 2015 Belmont Stakes won the prestigious award for "Sports Event of the Year." A month later at the 2016 Belmont Stakes, our fans and horseplayers witnessed another exiting day of dramatic racing - with a photo finish in the Belmont Stakes - and outstanding entertainment offered by Grammy-nominated artist Daughtry and the cast from the hit Broadway play, Beautiful."

"Our 2017 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival should be another great event," he added. "Don't miss out. We are providing our fans with a special presale opportunity to secure their spot at this year's "must-see" event."
