Belmont Stakes live stream: how to watch the 2019 race online from anywhere

After a controversial Kentucky Derby which saw its first ever disqualification and a Preakness Stakes where a horse ran the race without a jockey, the Triple Crown comes to an today with the Test of the Champion. You're in the right place to see how to get a 2019 Belmont Stakes live stream. 

The Belmont Stakes is an American Grade 1 Thoroughbred race featuring 3-year-old Thoroughbreds run on a 1.5 mile (2,400m) track. The 'Run for the Carnations', which is held five weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks after the Preakness, is the oldest of the three Triple Crown races and dates back to 1867.

Last year’s Belmont Stakes was a race to remember as Justify became the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown. Unfortunately, there will be no possibility of a Triple Crown winner this year but the 2019 Belmont Stakes is still shaping up to be an interesting race nonetheless.

War of Will is aiming to become the 12th horse ever to win both the Preakness and Belmont after failing to win the Kentucky Derby while third-place Kentucky Derby finisher Tacitus is another clear favorite.

Whether you’re rooting for War of Will, Tacitus or any of the other 10 horses competing in today’s race, we’ll show you how to live stream the Belmont Stakes from anywhere in the world.
