The horse racing spotlight in North America shifts north of the border this upcoming weekend to Woodbine in Toronto, Ontario, where three Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” preps are scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 17.

The marquee event is the Ricoh Woodbine Mile Stakes, a Challenge Series qualifier for the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile in November. Two other “Win and You’re In” races are preps for juvenile turf World Championship races: the Pattison Summer Stakes (Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf) and the Natalma Stakes (Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf).

All three races at Woodbine will be broadcast live on FanDuel TV, which will also show racing from many other tracks including Kentucky Downs’ closing day on Sept. 14, Gulfstream Park and Los Alamitos as part of its comprehensive coverage.

After a week off, the NYRA production team is back with “America’s Day at the Races,” which will show live racing from Aqueduct and Churchill Downs. Both of those meets begin Thursday, Sept. 15, with Aqueduct holding the Belmont at the “Big A” meet as it conducts early fall racing while Belmont Park undergoes construction. On Saturday, Sept. 17, the first two points races for the 2023 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and the 2023 Longines Kentucky Oaks will be held at Churchill in the Iroquois Stakes and the Pocahontas Stakes, respectively. “America’s Day at the Races,” presented by America’s Best Racing, will run from Thursday to Sunday on FS2 and FS1 – 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.

For livestreaming content, ABR presents “Woodbine Live!: Ricoh Woodbine Mile” on Saturday. The show, produced remotely, will focus on the Woodbine Mile, Summer Stakes, and Natalma Stakes and will be hosted by J.D. Fox, Jessica Paquette, Ren Carothers, Ellis Starr, and Chase Sessoms with special guests Dawn Lupul and Sheri Riddoch. Start time is 4 p.m. ET and “Woodbine Live!” airs on ABR’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels as well as Woodbine’s Facebook and Twitter channels.
