Belmont Stakes Racing Festival FAQs

Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: The date and time of any racing event is subject to change based on, among other things, force majeure events (including, without limitation, acts of God and other unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond reasonable control). No refunds will be permitted based on such scheduling changes.

In the event that racing is cancelled at any time prior to park opening, or is taking place at Belmont Park without permitted patronage to the general public, and NYRA does not intend to reschedule such racing events, NYRA will issue ticket credits or refunds solely for all tickets/pre-paid parking purchased directly through the NYRA Box Office, or a NYRA Sales Representative, for the specific event days that are affected by such situation. In such cases, tickets purchased via third-party vendors are not eligible for a refund from NYRA and customers must directly contact the third-party vendors for assistance.

In the event that the park is opened as planned and racing is cancelled, for any reason, before five(5) races have been run, customers in any hospitality/dining venues with pre-paid buffets will be entitled to finish their selected menu and standard 4-hour beverage package only and NYRA will refund such Group for any additional hours purchased beyond the standard 4-hour beverage package. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, NYRA shall have no obligation nor have any liability to such Group. For all other customers, NYRA will issue ticket credits or refunds solely for all tickets/pre-paid parking purchased directly through the NYRA Box Office, or a NYRA Sales Representative, for the specific event days that are affected by such situation. In such cases, tickets purchased via third-party vendors are not eligible for a refund from NYRA and customers must directly contact the third-party vendors for assistance.

If racing is cancelled, for any reason, after five (5) races have been run, there are no refunds or exchanges of any kind.
