“And they’re off” at Saratoga. (Eclipse Sportswire)
The upcoming weekend is highlighted by big races on both coasts, as Saratoga Race Course and Del Mar are now both in full swing with their summer meets. Saturday, July 26 at Saratoga, a small but star-studded field is entered in the Jim Dandy Stakes Presented by Mohegan Sun, which is the local prep race for the “Mid-summer Derby,” the DraftKings Travers Stakes on Aug. 23.
The Jim Dandy field is headlined by Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets winner Sovereignty, and also features Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes third-place finisher Baeza and fan favorite Sandman, who finished third in the Preakness Stakes.
Saturday at Del Mar, the Bing Crosby Stakes is a Win and You’re In qualifying race for the Cygames Breeders’ Cup Sprint, which will be held right back at the seaside southern California track in November.
The Jim Dandy Stakes is showcased on NYRA’s “Saratoga Live,” which will be broadcast nationwide on FOX during a three-hour show on Saturday. “Saratoga Live” airs each day from Wednesday, July 23, through Sunday, July 27, on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times. (The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes, a Win and You’re In qualifier at Ascot Racecourse in England for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf, will also be broadcast by FOX Sports on Saturday morning.)
The Bing Crosby, along with all other races from Del Mar during its summer meet, will be broadcast on FanDuel TV. The network also airs live racing every day from tracks including Gulfstream Park, Ellis Park, and Woodbine as well as Friday racing from Saratoga.
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.
