The outcomes of thoroughbred horse races held at Belmont Park’s temporary location, often referred to as “the Big A,” offer valuable data for the horse racing community. These outcomes encompass winning horses, their finishing times, the jockeys and trainers involved, and the payouts for various wagers. For example, a typical race record would show the horse that finished first, its margin of victory, and the final odds.
Access to this data is essential for a range of stakeholders. Owners, trainers, and breeders use it to assess the performance of their horses and inform future breeding and training strategies. Bettors analyze the data to make informed wagering decisions. Journalists and racing enthusiasts rely on the information to report on the races and track the progress of individual horses. Furthermore, historical race results provide a valuable record of the sport, documenting the lineage and achievements of notable horses. This information can be used to analyze trends in breeding, training, and racing performance over time. The temporary relocation of Belmont Stakes races to Aqueduct Racetrack underscores the significance of maintaining consistent and accessible records, bridging a historical gap in the sport’s history.
