DEADLINE FOR BELMONT STAKES CREDENTIAL REQUESTS IS MONDAY, MAY 28

Dear Media Members,

 

Please be advised that the deadline to apply for Belmont Stakes Credentials is Monday, May 28, 2012. Credential applications submitted after this date will not be considered.

 

Due to increased demand as a result of I’ll Have Another’s Triple Crown attempt, space is extremely limited. When determining access to the press box and photo room, preference will be given to major media outlets and those which have previously demonstrated timely, prudent, and responsible coverage of thoroughbred racing on a regular basis.

The link to the credential website is: http://credentials.nyra.com/Credentials/ViewMediaCredentialPolicy.aspx

 

You must have a Belmont Stakes week credential (valid Monday, June 4 - Sunday, June 10) in order to cover the race on Saturday, June 9, even if you already hold yearly NYRA credentials. If you have already applied for your Belmont Stakes credential, please disregard this message.

 

Photographers and television crews who plan to bring equipment on track must submit proof of liability insurance as outlined on page 4 of the application website. If you have specific questions about the application process, including how to correctly apply for multiple credentials for the same organization, please contact me via email at aherriman@nyrainc.com.

 

Thank you!
