The upcoming weekend is the first of two in a row featuring an abundance of Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races both in the U.S. and overseas, and the majority of them will be shown live on television. Marquee races such as the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in France, the Awesome Again Stakes in California, and the Vosburgh Stakes in New York headline what should be a thrilling stretch of top-level horse racing that will determine the Breeders’ Cup plans for many horses and their connections.
The Awesome Again Stakes on Saturday, Sept. 30 and other races at Santa Anita Park will be shown live on FanDuel TV as part of their comprehensive coverage of the fall meet at “The Great Race Place.” FanDuel TV is also the go-to network for live racing at Churchill Downs, which wraps up its short September meet on Oct. 1 and hosts the Ack Ack Stakes and Lukas Classic Stakes on Sept. 30. FanDuel TV will also show action from Woodbine, Gulfstream Park, and other tracks as part of its usual package.
Racing from the Belmont at the Big A meet in New York, including the Vosburgh Stakes and Woodward Stakes on Oct 1. and the Pilgrim Stakes and Miss Grillo Stakes Oct. 4, will be shown exclusively on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” program from Sept. 28 through Oct. 4. “America’s Day at the Races” airs on FS2 this week – check the below schedule for times. (Please note: NYRA races were postponed due to inclement weather forecasts in New York. The Woodward-Vosburgh card originally slated for Saturday was pushed back a day to Sunday, while Sunday's races featuring the Pilgrim and Miss Grillo Stakes have been rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 4.)
Five Breeders’ Cup preps headlined by the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe will run at Longchamp in France on Oct. 1, and both FS2 and FanDuel TV will provide live coverage.
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.
