In the 152nd running of the Belmont Stakes Thoroughbred horse race in New York on Saturday, the favorite New-York bred Tiz The Law took the lead at the top of the stretch and outran the field for the win.
The Belmont, traditionally the last of the Triple Crown Races, was the first this year (the last shall be first and the first shall be last), Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Triple Crown schedule was turned upside down, with the Kentucky Derby moving from May 2 to September 5, the Preakness Stakes shifting from May 16 to October 3 and the Belmont Stakes shifting from June 6 to June 20. Normally a 5-week span, the races will take fifteen weeks to complete in 2020.
