After a very busy week in horse racing covering racing, conferences, ceremonies, and sales, this week the spotlight focuses on Saratoga Race Course (again) and also Colonial Downs for some important contests including one Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” qualifier.
Colonial Downs hosts the marquee racecard of their summer meet Saturday, Aug. 9, highlighted by the Arlington Million Stakes, the Secretariat Stakes, and the Beverly D. Stakes.
Catch full coverage of Colonial’s Saturday card on FanDuel TV. The network will also present comprehensive coverage of Del Mar, Ellis Park, Woodbine, Gulfstream Park, and other tracks as per their usual schedule.
NYRA’s “Saratoga Live” rolls on this month and will showcase a Saturday card at the Spa featuring the Resorts World Casino Sword Dancer Stakes, a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf. The Sword Dancer plus other races from Saratoga will be broadcast nationwide on FOX during a three-hour “Saratoga Saturdays” show. “Saratoga Live” will also air from Wednesday, Aug. 6, through Sunday, Aug. 10 on FOX Sports channels – check the below schedule for times. And a special broadcast of the Dan Patch Stakes and other harness races from Hoosier Park will air Friday evening, Aug. 8, on FOX Sports channels as well.
