An extended holiday weekend running from Saturday, July 1, through Independence Day on Tuesday is right around the corner, and racing action is highlighted by the first domestic “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series race for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.

The 41st running of the Stephen Foster Stakes will be held at Ellis Park in western Kentucky instead of at Churchill Downs on Saturday, and it has drawn a competitive group of horses, one of which can lock down a berth in the starting gate of the $6 million Longines Classic Nov. 4 at Santa Anita Park.

The Stephen Foster and the rest of a stacked racecard Saturday will be shown exclusively on FanDuel TV, which will have a team of broadcasters on-site at Ellis Park for coverage. FanDuel TV will also show racing from Woodbine, Gulfstream Park, many other tracks each day as part of its usual comprehensive lineup.

Racing at Belmont Park will be showcased on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” for five days, starting on Friday, June 30, and ending with Belmont Park’s July 4 holiday card on Tuesday. “America’s Day at the Races” airs on FS2 and FS1 during the holiday weekend – check the below schedule for air times.

Horse racing from tracks around the world is available to subscribers on Racetrack Television Network (RTN), which can be livestreamed on all devices (computer, tablet and smartphone) and on TV via DISH Network, Amazon Fire and Roku.
