Miesque: Outracing the Boys to Become the First Two-Time Breeders' Cup Winner
The upcoming weekend in North American horse racing is highlighted by the final marquee dirt route races restricted to 3-year-olds, both held at Parx Racing on Saturday, Sept. 20. The Pennsylvania Derby drew a competitive field led by Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets third-place finisher Baeza, while recent Coaching Club American Invitational Stakes winner Scottish Lassie and Longines Kentucky Oaks winner Good Cheer meet in the Cotillion Stakes for fillies.
Both of these races along with five other stakes races at Parx will be televised on FanDuel TV. That network will also show the only Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the weekend, the Princess Rooney Invitational Stakes at Gulfstream Park, along with action from Churchill Downs, Woodbine, and other tracks.
NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” will run from Thursday, Sept. 18, through Sunday, Sept. 21, showcasing racing at Belmont at the Big A. The program, which airs on FOX Sports channels, will also feature harness racing during the span, including the Little Brown Jug at the Delaware, Ohio, County Fair on Thursday and an evening program Friday, Sept. 19, from Hoosier Park in Indiana featuring the Caesars Trotting Classic. Check the below schedule for channels and times.
Get ready for this weekend's action in Pennsylvania with the Hot 2 Trot podcast as America's Best Racing's Dan Todjman joins hosts Ashley Eisenbeil and Meadow Twaddle on Friday, Sept. 19 to preview Pennsylvania Day at the Races, Pennsylvania Derby Day, and the Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes.
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.
