Independence Day falls on a Friday this year, setting up an exciting three-day weekend in North American horse racing highlighted by the biggest racecard of the meet at Horseshoe Indianapolis, a special holiday racing festival in New York, and the kickoff of the summer meet at western Kentucky’s Ellis Park.

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.

This week, TV and streaming coverage of horse racing expands to an international scale, as NBC Sports will stream races all five days of the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting in England starting Tuesday, June 17, and ending Saturday, June 21, providing television coverage of the event on the final day as well.

Last weekend, a national TV audience witnessed a sensational 157th edition of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets that saw Sovereignty secure a clear position as the best 3-year-old in training with a dominant three-length victory.

Downpours gave way to sunshine June 7 at Saratoga Race Course as fans flocked to the historic track for the 157th Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets.
