Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Salesman ‘Calm, Cool and Collected’ in Training
The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by two Win and You’re In prep races at Churchill Downs for this fall’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships. On Saturday, June 28, Churchill will host the Stephen Foster Stakes, an automatic qualifier for the Longines Classic, and the Fasig-Tipton Fleur de Lis Stakes, a Win and You’re In prep for the Longines Distaff.
Both of these races along with the rest of a stacked Saturday card at Churchill will be broadcast live on FanDuel TV. That network is the go-to outlet for races at Churchill Downs this week as well as action from tracks such as Gulfstream Park, Los Alamitos (which hosts the Los Alamitos Derby on Saturday) and Woodbine.
Races from Belmont at the Big A in New York are showcased on “America’s Day at the Races” from Thursday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28 – which is closing day for the summer meet at Aqueduct. “America’s Day at the Races” also features bonus coverage from Monmouth Park, Laurel Park, and Horseshoe Indianapolis during the four-day span, airing on FOX Sports outlets. Check the below schedule for times and channels. (A Saturday evening program airing live harness racing from the Meadowlands will air on FS2.)
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.
And the new “The Saturday Show – Live Betting with the Boys,” a fast-paced and exciting betting show hosted by Ryan Anderson and Jackson Muniz, continues its run with guests on hand to help craft winning bets. This week’s episode is presented by NYRA Bets with a start time to be announced. It will be streamed on ABR’s Facebook, X, and YouTube channels.
