Last weekend saw Tripoli and Astronaut earn Breeders’ Cup berths during a spectacular Saturday at Del Mar that saw the track post a record handle for a non-Breeders’ Cup card. Del Mar will once again host a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” prep this Saturday, Aug. 28, but the main event this upcoming weekend will be at historic Saratoga Race Course during an Aug. 28 racecard that features three Challenge Series qualifiers plus one of the most prestigious races in the sport.

Saturday’s 152^nd Runhappy Travers Stakes will be a key race in determining the year-end 3-year-old male championship, and the 1 ¼-mile “Mid-Summer Derby” is expected to draw Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets winner Essential Quality. Also at Saratoga, the Resorts World Casino Sword Dancer Stakes (Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf), Personal Ensign Stakes Presented by Lia Infiniti (Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff), and Ketel One Ballerina Stakes (Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint) all offer expenses-paid berths to the World Championships as part of the Challenge Series Presented by America’s Best Racing.

NYRA’s “Saratoga Live” will provide full coverage of Saratoga’s Aug. 28 card, which also includes three other graded stakes. The action begins on FS1 at 11:30 a.m. ET and switches to FS2 in the afternoon before moving to a nationwide broadcast on FOX from 5 p.m. ET to 6:30 p.m. ET that will showcase the Runhappy Travers. “Saratoga Live” will also show races from Saratoga on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday this coming week – check the below schedule for channels and air times.
