The race is 1.5 miles in length, and the record for the fastest time of 2 minutes, 24 seconds is held by Secretariat, the 1973 winner. We compared Secretariat€™s time from 1973 with the time of each winner of the Belmont Stakes for the years 1999€“2011. The following data represent the differences (in seconds) between each winner€™s time for the years 1999€“2011 and Secretariat€™s time in 1973. For example, the 1999 winner took 3.80 seconds longer than Secretariat to finish the race.
