Silver Charm: As Tenacious as They Come
As fall officially begins, the North American horse racing schedule enters the heart of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series, with multiple preps scheduled over the next two weeks at tracks around the U.S. Five are scheduled for this upcoming weekend, four of them held at Santa Anita Park during that track’s kickoff to its autumn meet.
All four of those “Win and You’re In” races will be broadcast live on FanDuel TV – the Goodwood Stakes (Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic) and City of Hope Mile Stakes (FanDuel Mile Presented by PDJF) – on Saturday, Sept. 27, and the Zenyatta Stakes (Longines Distaff) and Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes (Cygames Sprint) on Sunday, Sept. 28. FanDuel TV will also show live racing from tracks including Churchill Downs (which ends its brief September meet on Sunday) and Woodbine as part of their normal daily package.
NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” continues to showcase racing from Belmont at the Big A, producing four shows from Thursday, Sept. 25, through Sunday and including the Vosburgh Stakes Presented by Army Mule (a Challenge Series qualifier for the Cygames Sprint) and the historic Woodward Stakes on Saturday. “America’s Day at the Races” airs on FOX Sports this week – check the below schedule for channels and 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.
