Belmont Stakes Fan Festival to be held at Grand Central
Terminal
The excitement of Thoroughbred racing at Belmont Park will be coming to Grand
Central Terminal with the inaugural Belmont Stakes Fan Festival set for June 7,
the day before the 145th running of the $1 million Belmont Stakes.
From 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. (EDT), the east side of Vanderbilt Hall will be
turned into a mini version of historic Belmont Park, with four interactive event
zones open to the more than 750,000 daily commuters, tourists and visitors to
New York's iconic train terminal. By participating, fans will have the
opportunity to win Belmont Stakes items, and also be entered to win one of four
prize packages including Belmont Stakes Day hospitality and other packages.
Among the activities are:
@NYRANews from their Twitter account and tweet the hashtag of the horse
they think will win the Belmont Stakes. A randomly selected winner will
receive a Belmont Stakes Day Trackside Hospitality package for two including
clubhouse seats, trackside parking, and buffet lunch. Second, third and
fourth-place finishers will also receive hospitality packages for different
dates in June.
