Events / Travel
The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by the final cards of Belmont Park’s successful spring-summer meet, which wraps up Sunday, July 9. Racing in New York will then move upstate starting on July 13 for nearly two months of action at historic Saratoga Race Course, in many people’s opinion the best race meet in North America.
Racing at Belmont Park will be showcased on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” from Friday, July 7 to Sunday, July 9, highlighted by the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes and the Belmont Oaks Invitational Stakes on Saturday, July 8. “America’s Day at the Races” will also present live coverage of the Indiana Derby and other races from Horseshoe Indianapolis on Saturday plus harness racing from the Meadowlands. The show airs this week on FS2 and FS1 – check the below schedule for air times.
Racing from Gulfstream Park, Monmouth Park, Woodbine, and other tracks will air daily on FanDuel TV. The network will also broadcast the Indiana Derby card and action from Los Alamitos, Delaware Park, and Prairie Meadows. Each of those tracks have big racecards on July 8, featuring the Los Alamitos Derby, Delaware Handicap, and Iowa Derby, respectively.
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.
