Belmont Stakes results in tragic horse fatalities at Belmont Park.

Two horses, Mashnee Girl and Excursionniste, died within 24 hours following the Belmont Stakes due to catastrophic leg injuries. The New York Racing Association, Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, and New York State Gaming Commission will review the circumstances surrounding the incident. This comes after Churchill Downs suspended racing earlier this month due to 12 horse deaths, and four horses have died at Belmont Park since the spring-summer meet began last month.

Belmont Stakes racing resumes after air quality improves in New York.

The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival will resume at Belmont Park on Friday after air quality conditions improved throughout New York. The 155th edition of the Belmont Stakes is scheduled for Saturday, and enhanced safety measures have been introduced, including canceling the race if the air quality index exceeds 200. If the AQI reaches a value between 150-200, horses will only be allowed to compete if they pass an additional pre-race vet examination. Races in Delaware Park and Finger Lakers were canceled Wednesday morning due to air quality, and races won't resume there until Monday, June 12.

Wildfire smoke threatens major US events, including Belmont Stakes and MLB games.

Racing will resume at Belmont Park ahead of the Belmont Stakes after the New York Racing Association cited a "significant improvement in air quality conditions." The NYRA postponed Thursday's schedule at Belmont Park and said racing would only be authorised if conditions improved. Millions across the US and Canada remain at risk of inhaling potentially harmful air as wildfire smoke continues to wreak havoc. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) called for the race to be postponed earlier this week "due to smoke and the dangerous particulate level."
