Bud Delp: A Hall of Famer Remembered as a ‘Super Horse Trainer’
The Breeders’ Cup prep season is in full gear as the second weekend of August approaches, with three “Win and You’re In” races on the calendar, two in the U.S. and one in France.
The Fourstardave Handicap has been be postponed from Saturday, Aug. 10 and instead will be held Sunday, Aug. 11 at Saratoga Race Course because of steady rain in upstate New York that soaked the turf courses at the Spa. The reschedule Fourstardave offers an automatic berth to the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile Presented by PDJF, while the Beverly D. Stakes at Colonial Downs on Sunday is a qualifier for the Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Another “Win and You’re In” race for the FanDuel Mile will be run Sunday at Deauville Racecourse in France: the Prix du Haras de Fresnay-Le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois. Read a preview of the big weekend races here.
The main-track stakes action Saturday from Saratoga is scheduled to be broadcast nationwide as part of a three-hour “Saratoga Saturdays” show on FOX. Other races from the Aug. 10 card at the Spa will air on FS1 and FS2, and NYRA-produced “Saratoga Live” will feature action from Saratoga from Wednesday, Aug. 7 through Sunday on Fox Sports networks. The rescheduled Saratoga Derby Invitational Stakes and the Fourstardave Handicap will be televised Sunday on FS1. In addition, the Prix Jacques Le Marois will air on FS2 Sunday morning and harness racing highlighted by the Dan Patch Stakes from Hoosier Park will air on FS2 during an evening broadcast Friday, Aug. 9. Check the below schedule for channels and times.
Colonial Downs’ big weekend of racing highlighted by the Beverly D. Stakes and the Arlington Million Stakes Sunday will be showcased on FanDuel TV. The network will, as usual, show races from other tracks led by comprehensive coverage of Del Mar’s summer meet and also including Gulfstream Park, Ellis Park, and Woodbine.
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.
