GLOBAL SYMPOSIUM ON RACING SPONSOR
New York Racing Association
The New York Racing Association was founded in 1955 and is franchised to run thoroughbred racing at New York’s three major tracks (Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course) through 2033. With a lineage of nearly 150 years, NYRA tracks are the cornerstone of New York State’s thoroughbred industry, which contributes more than $2 billion annually to its urban, suburban and rural economy.
NYRA is currently redeveloping Belmont Park to create a world-class racing and entertainment destination on Long Island. Belmont Park will re-open for live racing in September 2026 with the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets set to return to Long Island in 2027.
