Favorable air quality, sunshine for Belmont Stakes Day
Near-perfect conditions at Belmont Park for Belmont Stakes Day, June 10. Sunny skies at 9:30 a.m. ET, with a mild temperature of 65 degrees. Air quality is also good, with no fog or smoke and the Air Quality Index only registers at 21. AQI figures of 150 or higher reflect problematic conditions.
Just two days earlier, Belmont and other tracks had to cancel poor air quality as smoke from the Canadian wildfires enveloped many cities in the northeastern United States and Canada.
It is expected to be sunny and cloudy today with a high of 76 degrees.
There are no changes in today’s Belmont Shares (G1). This is the full scratch on the card. The main track is fast and the grass is solid.
