Spend a Day at Belmont Park This Fall

The fall is one of the most popular times to visit Belmont Park to watch (and maybe even bet on) some horse races. Belmont has been the place to visit to witness some of horse racing’s greatest legends including Man o’ War and Seabiscuit for over 100 years. If you have not had a chance to visit this year, now is the perfect time. 

Horse racing has been a favorite past-time in America since the 1800s. In fact, the first Belmont Stakes race occurred in 1866 at the Jerome Park Racetrack in the Bronx. Belmont Park is home to the 430-acre track located and is the longest of the three in the Triple Crown.

This fall, Belmont Park is holding its Belmont Fall Championship Meet which is a 37-day event featuring 45 stakes worth $11.5 million. This is a popular event that often results in large turnouts, tons of traffic and packed parking lots. Instead of this being a deterrent or forcing you to use public transportation to get there, hire Party Bus Limos & More to take care of the driving. 

We have party buses to accommodate groups from 30-40 passengers. Or if you have a smaller group, we also offer car service or limousine service. 

Don’t Miss the Excitement of Belmont Races

Belmont Park, located in Elmont, NY was built in 1905 and remains the place to be for horse racing on Long Island, NY. If you’ve never been to Belmont Park then you don’t know what you are missing out on. In addition to hosting some of the best horse racing in the country, it is the spot where many horse racing records have been set. In fact, Belmont is the track where Secretariat made the mile and a half stakes record in 1973, which is the fastest Belmont time to date and also holds the world record for a dirt track race. 

While you’re there be sure to enjoy a tasty meal at one of the many dining options available at the park. To add even more excitement to your visit you can also bet on your favorite horses at the park.
