The third jewel of the Triple Crown — 180 miles north of Manhattan, delivered in comfort.
The Belmont Stakes — the third jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown — has moved to Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY while Belmont Park on Long Island undergoes renovation. The 2026 Racing Festival runs June 3-7, with the featured Belmont Stakes race expected on Saturday, June 7. Saratoga Race Course holds approximately 50,000 spectators and is one of the most storied venues in American thoroughbred racing.
Saratoga Springs is approximately 180-190 miles north of Manhattan — a 3-3.5 hour drive via I-87 (the New York State Thruway) without traffic. This is a premium long-distance service, and our chauffeurs are experienced with the full I-87 corridor from the city to Exit 13N at Saratoga. On race day, Union Avenue near the track becomes congested — professional car service means curbside drop-off rather than a 15-20 minute walk from distant parking lots.
Whether you're planning a day trip (depart NYC at 7 AM, return by 10 PM) or an overnight VIP experience (Friday transfer, Saturday racing, Sunday return), True North VIP provides the full transportation package for the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga.
