Belmont is 1 and 1/2 miles ,yet it's stretch is actually shorter than Aqueduct's and it is a mile and 1/8 ,the distance of the stretch depends upon where the wire is in relation to the top of the stretch for instance in a 6F race you can run a shorter distance to the turn and a longer one out of it,where as in Belmont's you do the same but to a lesser degree, because of the sweeping turns
