- Governor Kathy Hochul, together with the New York Racing Association, revealed that the Belmont Stakes will be held at Saratoga Race Course on June 6, 2026, marking the event's third and final running at that venue.

- Governor Hochul remarked that the final Belmont Stakes held at Saratoga Race Course pays tribute to the state’s distinguished racing traditions and sets the stage for an exciting new era at Belmont Park, while NYRA CEO Dave O’Rourke highlighted Saratoga’s success as a temporary venue.
- The 2026 Belmont Stakes marks a conclusion of the temporary relocation, allowing Belmont Park to resume hosting major events thereafter, including the 2027 Breeders' Cup announced for October 29-30, 2027.
