US Horse Racing’s Triple Crown Will Look Different This Year
The New York Racing Association announced this week that the Belmont Stakes will take place on June 20.
The Belmont is one of three major races for three-year-old thoroughbred horses in the United States. Together, the races are known as horse racing's Triple Crown.
The Triple Crown will look very different this year, from start to finish.
For the first time, the Belmont Stakes will be run before the other two races, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in Baltimore. Horses competing in the Belmont Stakes normally run about 2.4 kilometers. But this year, the distance has been cut to two kilometers. And Belmont Park – the track where the race takes place – will be mostly quiet. There will be no racing fans cheering on the horses.
"I think we're going to have a big field," said New York Racing Association president Dave O'Rourke. In this case, "field" means the group of horses taking part in the race.
O'Rourke added, "I think it'll be a really competitive field. I think the dynamics of the race are different."
The Triple Crown races will not be taking place in their usual order for the first time since 1931. The Kentucky Derby was moved from May 2 to September 5 because of efforts to stop the coronavirus. The health crisis also forced the postponement of Preakness from May 16 to October 3.
An out-of-order Triple Crown will be a different kind of competition. The Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont are usually run during a five-week period in the spring. By the summer and autumn, the three-year-old thoroughbreds are more experienced.
"It's going to help some, it's going to hurt others," trainer Mark Casse said. "You're going to see a lot stronger, probably a bigger, stronger horse from May."
The Belmont was supposed to take place on June 6. But horse racing in New York was halted in March after a racetrack worker was found to have the disease COVID-19. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo did not announce his decision to restart racing until May 16.
Live racing is slowly restarting across North America. Track owners feel they can operate safely and earn money without fans watching. There are two reasons for this: earnings from television broadcasts and online betting.
Last year, many people who bet on the Belmont Stakes did not actually attend the race. Off-track betting operations took in more than $90 million on the race.
Bob Baffert has trained two Triple Crown winners over the years. This year, he hopes to build up his horses for the three races with the Belmont as the first event.
"I think they're going to be more competitive with that spaced-out time," Baffert said. "At the end of the day, the end game is the Kentucky Derby. That September 5 date is what we're all shooting for."

美国赛马三冠王大赛闭门进行
纽约赛马协会本周宣布，贝尔蒙特大奖赛将于6月20日举行lzuiP.vYbpUt91fC。

今年的三冠王大赛从开赛到落幕都将焕然一新BM%Nnq@H0wbaQ。
贝尔蒙特大奖赛将首次在另外两大赛事（即肯塔基德比和普里克内斯锦标赛）前举行HOFimO4=_qDjfS;n1y。参加贝尔蒙特大奖赛的赛马通常需要跑大约2.4公里%3db%Ulg&w*N+B9cXXf。而今年距离已经缩短到了两公里QFc)V%&.^l)Qn4!8X。而且进行比赛的贝尔蒙特公园的赛道也将会基本保持安静oKzbdtNmFq。现场不会有粉丝应援V1QhdF+,s+#N@z]^h.Jl。
纽约赛马协会主席戴夫·奥洛克（Dave O'Rourke）表示：“我认为这次赛事规模将迎来空前盛况aUAn44KJuKlug。”这里的“field”是指参加比赛的马群IVwG4pqR9~J+,ID。

奥洛克还表示：“我认为这将成为一个非常有竞争力的领域&N-m],pBHT2#。这场比赛的动态是与众不同的imM+T0;.zP。”
自1931年以来，三冠王大赛将首次不按常规顺序进行ge2eWExJ9s^。为了阻止新冠病毒传播，肯塔基德比从5月2日改到了9月5日qbB(%CR)U-COOLMN2iVh。这场健康危机还迫使普里克内斯锦标赛从5月16日推迟到了10月3日Ww0h%SpcEoCPZq。
打乱顺序的三冠王大赛将是另一种类型的比赛i;p+_@IGtb0ut^。肯塔基德比、普里克内斯锦标赛和贝尔蒙特大奖赛通常在春季进行为期5周的比赛~H,)Z@I5-4twT0W0。到了夏季和秋季，这些三岁纯种马的经验会更加丰富UzmMh%0L|i=p4。
驯马师马克·卡斯（Mark Casse）表示：“这会对一些人有利，对另一些人不利6LF=qnEvhHYOg(q。从5月开始，你可能有幸看到更大更强壮的赛马g1~DN,nWJj=FJ。”
贝尔蒙特大奖赛原定于6月6日举行3OKIK]&5m5M2S@[.071)。但是在一名马场员工确诊感染新冠肺炎后，纽约州的赛马活动在3月份被叫停N**qx8l_Rk-m^D&X。纽约州州长安德鲁·库莫直到5月16日才宣布重新开赛[.uC24l]3u,3k。
北美的实况赛马活动正在逐渐恢复Q9w|FDhxbCsxn^j。赛道老板认为，他们可以在没有粉丝观赛的前提下安全地运营并盈利ba1FN3I(-L。主要得益于两个原因：电视直播和在线博彩的收入_NEAjM&f8qxF。
去年，很多贝尔蒙特大奖赛的投注人实际并未前往现场观赛)*(dS9e%ifq^i)U。这场比赛的场外投注业务获利逾9千万美元A-54yFn2sD0。
鲍勃·巴弗特（Bob Baffert）多年来培养了两名三冠王得主[Oa~B.-a99=qolcGa。今年，他希望把贝尔蒙特大奖赛作为首项赛事，为三大赛事培养马匹SL@WPhi_iKwrjn|u4yu。
巴弗特表示：“我认为在这段间隔时间内，它们会更具竞争力JC7E#v~=]]#KCLm8@F11。最后一场比赛是肯塔基德比wsoTpSXX4V。那个9月5日是我们所有人的目标F@!odIk6z4P_O。”
