Preakness Quick Sheet: Get to Know the 2021 Preakness Horses
Where to Watch/Listen: Memorial Day Weekend 2022
Events / TravelThe second jewel of the 2022 Triple Crown is in the books, and in terms of national media attention, a pause is in order after Early Voting’s win last Saturday in the Preakness Stakes. Interest and coverage will resume very soon in anticipation of Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve winner Rich Strike’s return in the June 11 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets – but in the meantime, fans and bettors are set to enjoy a bountiful holiday weekend of racing ending on Memorial Day with a huge card at Santa Anita Park.
On Monday, May 30, Santa Anita will host the first domestic race in the 2022 Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series of races, as top turf horses will contest the Shoemaker Mile Stakes. That race offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile Nov. 5 at Keeneland, and will be shown live on TVG.
TVG will also show all other races from Santa Anita over the Memorial Day weekend as part of its comprehensive coverage, including the Gold Cup at Santa Anita on Monday for older dirt horses. Other tracks covered by TVG include Gulfstream Park, Monmouth Park, Pimlico, and Woodbine.
Racing from Belmont Park and Churchill Downs will be featured on “America’s Day at the Races.” The NYRA-produced show airs this week from Thursday to Sunday on FS2 and FS1 – check the schedule below for air times. (Part of the coverage window Sunday afternoon, May 29, is tentative and may be pre-empted by a NCAA baseball game.)
For livestreming content, ABR’s show “Devine and the Dog” is back Wednesday, May 25, beginning at 6 p.m. ET. Hosted by racing analyst Megan Devine and horseplayer and raconteur Chase Sessoms, aka “The Wolf of Oaklawn,” “Devine and the Dog” can be streamed on ABR’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels as well as Megan’s Twitter channel and Chase’s Twitter channel.
