April 3, 2025NYRA Partners with Stewart’s Shops to Offer Special Belmont Stakes Racing Festival Admission Pass
The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced a special Belmont Stakes Racing Festival three-day admission pass is now available at nearly 200 Stewart’s Shops throughout the greater Capital Region.
The pass includes general admission to Saratoga Race Course for three of the five days of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival: Thursday, June 5, Friday, June 6, and Saturday June 7 – Belmont Stakes Day featuring the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown – for just $99.
The admission pass, which represents a savings of 15 percent based on individual day pricing, is available exclusively at participating Stewart’s Shops, while supplies last. The pass provides access to the backyard of Saratoga Race Course and hundreds of free picnic tables, as well as walk-around access to most areas of the track.
“Stewart’s Shops has become synonymous with convenience for local horse racing fans by offering access to NYRA Bets gift cards, Saratoga season passes and Post Parade programs,” said NYRA Vice President, Sales and Hospitality, Kevin Quinn. “Our longstanding partnership with Stewart’s Shops has now expanded to include three-day passes for the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, providing fans the opportunity to enjoy multiple days of the event at a reduced price.”
“Stewart’s and Saratoga Race Course have built a great partnership over the years,” said Stewart’s chief operating officer Chad Kiesow. “Teaming up to offer a great value to Belmont Stakes fans and Stewart’s customers is a natural extension of this partnership.”
Highlighted by the 157th running of the Grade 1, $2 million Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets on Saturday, June 7, the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival will be conducted at Saratoga Race Course from Wednesday, June 4 through Sunday, June 8. The festival will include 27 stakes races with purses totaling $11,275,000, the richest purses and highest number of stakes offered since the launch of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival in 2014.
Fans who purchase the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival general admission pass at Stewart’s Shops can take advantage of a special add-on savings to include admission for all four days of the July 4th Racing Festival for just $20.
Typically held at Belmont Park, the July 4th Racing Festival at Saratoga will be conducted from Thursday, July 3 through Sunday July 6 and will serve as the conclusion of the 2025 Belmont at the Big A spring/summer meet and the prelude to the 40-day Saratoga summer meet.
