August Belmont, Sr. (December 8, 1813 – November 24, 1890) was German-American politician, financier, foreign diplomat, and party chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 1850s, and later a horse-breeder and racehorse owner that established the Belmont Park racecourse on Long Island, New York. He is the namesake of the Belmont Stakes, third jewel of the Triple Crown series of American thoroughbred horse racing.
He graduated from St. Mark's School and was an 1875 graduate of Harvard University. At Harvard on the track team he introduced spiked track shoes to the United States. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon at Harvard.
After graduation he worked at the Belmont banking house, August Belmont & Co. At the death of his father in 1890 he became the head of the company.
August Belmont, Jr. founded the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in 1902 to help finance the construction of and operate New York City's first undergroundrapid transit line. He served as president, and, in 1907, chairman of the company. Belmont holds the distinction of owning the world's only purpose built private subway car. Named Mineola, it was used by Belmont to give tours of the IRT.
August Belmont IV (December 30, 1908 – July 10, 1995) was an American Investment banker and thoroughbred racehorse owner.
