After an action-packed first weekend of October featuring 21 Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series races, the upcoming weekend is less flashy but still includes several important stakes at tracks around North America.

Keeneland Race Course continues with its popular fall meet, and this weekend’s slate is highlighted by the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes Presented by Dixiana for 3-year-old fillies Saturday, Oct. 11. Every race from Keeneland will be shown live on FanDuel TV along with racing from tracks such as Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, and Woodbine as part of that network’s comprehensive package.

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.

NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” has a four-day stretch of programs from Thursday, Oct. 9, to Sunday, Oct. 12. The NYRA-produced show will cover racing from Belmont at the Big A and also on Saturday will show some races from one of Laurel Park’s biggest events, Maryland Million Day. “America’s Day at the Races” airs on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times. In addition, a broadcast of standardbred racing featuring the Indiana Sire Stakes from Hoosier Park airs on FS2 the evening of Friday, Oct. 10.

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.
