all in Breeders' Cup

Television and streaming coverage of Thoroughbred racing widens to an international scope this week as NBC Sports will be on-site at the prestigious Royal Ascot meet in England for each of its five days starting Tuesday, June 16, and ending Saturday, June 20.

With the 2026 U.S. Triple Crown season completed, the focus of the horse racing world shifts from Saratoga Race Course to across the pond for one of the most prestigious events on the annual calendar. The five-day Royal Ascot meet begins Tuesday, June 16, at gorgeous Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.

Every year, the road to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships starts months before with a series of qualifying races that are known as the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series.

Nysos cruised to victory in the $1 million Grade 1 Hill 'N' Dale Metropolitan Handicap to headline the Belmont Stakes undercard June 6 at Saratoga Race Course.

Following a memorable Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park, the horse racing calendar maintains a high level of activity and excitement over the upcoming extended holiday weekend with several prominent tracks holding cards on Memorial Day Monday, May 25.
