One of the most important weekends in the Thoroughbred racing calendar is just days away, with elite racing scheduled all throughout North America and overseas as well. This is the final big weekend of Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” qualifiers, which offer winners automatic entry in World Championships races Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Del Mar. Twenty-one of the final 22 “Win and You’re In” preps will be held from Friday, Oct. 3, through Sunday, Oct. 5, and television viewing options are plentiful.

Keeneland Race Course begins its very popular October meet Friday and will host seven “Win and You’re In” races over what’s been branded as Fall Stars Weekend. Three of those Challenge Series events will be televised on CNBC Saturday during a two-hour program from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. ET and two more will air on NBC Sunday during another two-hour program with the same times.

A staple during Keeneland’s meet is the “Today at Keeneland” show, a 30-minute preview beginning each day of live racing at 11:30 a.m. ET and hosted by Scott Hazelton and Keeneland’s new director of communications, Gabby Gaudet. “Today at Keeneland” streams live on various outlets including Keeneland’s website and YouTube channel.

Racing from Belmont at the Big A, including four Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series races, will air on “America’s Day at the Races” from Thursday, Oct. 2, through Sunday, Oct. 5. That show is on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times.

A huge day of racing is on tap Sunday at Longchamp in France, featuring six “Win and You’re In” qualifiers for the Breeders’ Cup topped by the prestigious Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. The Arc plus other races will air on FS2 during a one-hour show Sunday morning, and all races from Longchamp will be shown live on FanDuel TV.

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.
