The new Belmont Park opens on Friday, September 18, following a $455 million renovation that added four new tracks, including a synthetic surface, two turf courses, and a rebuilt dirt oval. The centerpiece event is the $1,000,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1, 1 1/4 miles), a Breeders’ Cup Classic Win and You’re In qualifier, with Forever Young confirmed to run and Sovereignty’s participation still unconfirmed.
