A Day in the Life of a Kentucky Derby Horse
A memorable Triple Crown season is in the books with Arcangelo’s win in last Saturday’s Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets, and the horse racing calendar will soon shift to Breeders’ Cup prep season, with four “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series races lined up next week during the prestigious Royal Ascot meet in England.
In the meantime, racing continues at several marquee tracks across the country, and this upcoming Saturday’s slate is highlighted by four stakes races, three of them graded, held at Monmouth Park on their Haskell Preview Day.
Those races at Monmouth plus action from Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, Woodbine, and other tracks will air live on FanDuel TV as part of their comprehensive daily package.
Racing from Belmont Park is showcased on “America’s Day at the Races.” The NYRA-produced show airs from Thursday, June 15 to Sunday, June 18 this week 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.
