Is Bad Weather About to Shake Up Belmont Stakes?
Weather could play a major role in the 158th Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, where scattered thunderstorms are possible near race time Saturday evening. Forecasts show a medium risk of weather disruption, with temperatures around 77°F and light winds expected. Rain could leave the dirt track muddy and slippery, potentially affecting horse performance and race strategy. Organizers say the race will proceed unless conditions threaten the safety of horses or jockeys.
