Horse racing’s Triple Crown will look different this year from start to finish.
The Belmont Stakes will lead off the Triple Crown June 20 at a distance of 1 1/8 miles instead of the 1 1/2-miles that has been the race’s trademark for nearly a century.
The races will be run out of their traditional order for the first time since 1931.
The Kentucky Derby was moved from May 2 to September 5 and the Preakness from May 16 to October 3 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
