2025 Haskell Stakes Cheat Sheet
One of the most important races in the 3-year-old division is coming up at Monmouth Park, which will host the 58th running of the NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes on Saturday, July 19. The $1 million race is also a Win and You’re In qualifier for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic this November, and the Haskell is expected to attract a strong field headlined by Preakness Stakes winner and Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets runner-up Journalism.
The Haskell Stakes will be televised nationwide on NBC during a one-hour show from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET featuring NBC Sports’ award-winning horse racing team. That show is also expected to feature the $600,000 United Nations Stakes, a key turf race at Monmouth.
Additional stakes races at Monmouth on a stacked Saturday card will be shown live on FanDuel TV, and that network will pull out all of the stops starting Friday, July 18, when it begins comprehensive daily coverage of Del Mar’s elite summer meet in southern California. FanDuel TV is the go-to network for racing at Del Mar and will have key members of its broadcast team reporting on-site from the seaside track all the way through the end of the summer meet in early September.
FanDuel TV will, as usual, also show live racing from tracks including Ellis Park, Woodbine, and Gulfstream Park, and also show racing from Saratoga Race Course every Friday during its summer meet.
NYRA’s “Saratoga Live” started its on-site coverage from the Spa earlier this month, and will have shows every day of live racing covering the majority of action in upstate New York. This week, “Saratoga Live” will start Saturday FOX coverage with a show from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. featuring the $500,000 Coaching Club American Oaks Invitational Stakes and the $400,000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap. Additional “Saratoga Live” shows will air on FS2 and FS1 from Wednesday, July 16, through Sunday, July 20 – check the schedule below 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.
Livestream coverage for this week is highlighted by ABR’s “Woodbine LIVE!” show Sunday, July 20, featuring coverage of the Woodbine Oaks Presented by Stella Artois and the Plate Trial Stakes. The show will be hosted by ABR’s Alexa Zepp and handicapper J.D. Fox and will also feature special guests. “Woodbine LIVE!” has a start time to be announced and will stream on ABR’s Facebook, X, and YouTube channels.
