Belmont Newmarket 2026 Results
The official 2026 Belmont Newmarket results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, August 8, 2026.
- #6 Immortal Bliss
- #2 Snowdome
- #8 Final Siren
Immortal Bliss ($3.10) stamped his class on the 2026 Belmont Newmarket results in WA on Saturday, bouncing back from a luckless Bolton Sprint run to dominate the 1200m feature with a powerful rails‑hugging surge that put the race to bed inside the final furlong. The Dan Morton‑trained gelding, a proven wet‑tracker and already a Listed winner earlier in the winter, settled midfield before Lucy Fiore seized a perfect gap at the 250m, allowing the five‑year‑old to accelerate sharply and race clear by nearly three lengths from Snowdome, with Final Siren sticking on for third. The victory continued Immortal Bliss’s rise as one of WA’s most reliable sprinters, taking his record to eight wins and reinforcing his suitability for upcoming targets, including the Idyllic Prince Stakes or even a Golden Saddle campaign as connections weigh up the best path forward.

For those diving into Belmont Newmarket betting 2026, monitoring early firmers, potential overs and runners suited to the fast‑run 1200m is crucial in identifying value before race day.
