The highly anticipated Del Mar summer meet begins Friday, July 17, kicking off eight weeks of elite Thoroughbred racing at the seaside Southern California track, while East Coast racing action this weekend also has a distinct ocean theme. Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., hosts its signature race, the $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes, as the anchor of its Saturday, July 18 card featuring six stakes races worth $2.75 million.

After Friday’s “Saratoga Live” show on FOX Sports, the NYRA team will provide special coverage of opening day at Del Mar Friday. This America’s Day at the Races broadcast airs on FS2 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. ET and on FS1 from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. FanDuel TV will also provide on-site coverage of Del Mar throughout the summer meet.

Saratoga Live” runs from Thursday, July 16 through Sunday, July 19 on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times.

Television coverage of the early part of the Haskell Stakes day card will be available on FanDuel TV and select races on “Saratoga Live,” while NBC Sports will host a national telecast on NBC from 5-6 p.m. ET that will feature both the United Nations Stakes and the Haskell Stakes, a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series race for the $7 million Longines Classic Oct. 31 at Keeneland. The United Nations and Haskell Stakes also will be streamed on Peacock.

 In addition to Del Mar, live racing from tracks including Gulfstream Park, Ellis Park, Charles Town Races, Colonial Downs, and Woodbine will air on FanDuel TV over the weekend.

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.
