The first full week of racing in September is highlighted by the wrap-up of Del Mar’s summer meet plus big days at both Kentucky Downs and Colonial Downs.
Action from all three of those tracks plus others including Woodbine and Gulfstream Park will be broadcast on FanDuel TV. Key races on Saturday, Sept. 6 include the KTDF Kentucky Turf Cup Invitational Stakes at Kentucky Downs (a “Win and You’re In” prep for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf), the Old Dominion Derby at Colonial Downs, and the Del Mar Debutante Stakes. Del Mar’s meet ends Sunday, Sept. 7 with a racecard anchored by the Del Mar Futurity.
NYRA tracks are on hiatus this week before the fall Belmont at the Big A meet opens Thursday, Sept. 11. An evening broadcast of harness racing from the Meadowlands is scheduled to air Friday, Sept. 5 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.
