After a whirlwind weekend of Thoroughbred racing in North America and France, the calendar lightens considerably this week before ramping back up again in advance of the 43rd Breeders’ Cup World Championships Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland.

Keeneland’s Fall Stars meet kicked off last weekend, and the Lexington, Ky., track receives added TV coverage this week as NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” will broadcast parts of three racecards from Friday, Oct. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 11. “America’s Day at the Races” showcases Belmont Park on a five-day run starting Wednesday, Oct. 7 and ending Sunday, airing on FOX Sports. Check the below schedule for channels and times.

Keeneland races will also air on FanDuel TV this week along with action from tracks including Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, Charles Town, and Woodbine.

The popular “Today at Keeneland” preview show is underway and will air each day of live racing through the end of Keeneland’s regular meet Oct. 24. Hosted by Gabby Gaudet and Scott Hazelton, “Today at Keeneland” starts at 11:30 a.m. ET and airs locally on the CW Lexington while also streaming on Keeneland’s website, YouTube channel, WKYT.com, and several other outlets.

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.
