The next three weeks on the horse racing calendar promise to be among the most exciting of 2026, starting Saturday, Aug. 22 when the 36^th edition of the Pacific Classic Stakes will be run at Del Mar. The $1 million Pacific Classic, a “Win and You’re In” prep for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, has been moved up two weeks from its usual spot along with three other stakes races to anchor a fantastic betting card.

The Pacific Classic and other Del Mar races Saturday will be televised live on FanDuel TV and also on FS1 during a special evening “America’s Day at the Races” show. That program, produced by NYRA, will follow a day of “Saratoga Live” coverage from Saratoga Race Course highlighted by the Alabama Stakes Presented by Keeneland Sales, broadcast nationwide on FOX.

“Saratoga Live” begins its run Wednesday, Aug. 19, and ends Sunday, Aug. 23, and will air on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times.
