Where to Watch/Listen: Horse Racing Coverage for Memorial Day Weekend 2023
Events / TravelThe first two races of the Triple Crown are in the books, and now racing fans have a three-week wait until the finale arrives with the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets at Belmont Park. But the calendar is still chock full of top-class racing, with stakes action from coast to coast set for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend.
This week’s highlight is the Shoemaker Mile Stakes on Memorial Day, May 29, at Santa Anita Park. The Shoemaker is a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile Presented by PDJF Nov. 4 back at Santa Anita, and is one of three Grade 1 races scheduled on the Memorial Day card at “The Great Race Place” along with the Hollywood Gold Cup and the Gamely Stakes.
All of those races will be broadcast live on FanDuel TV as part of their comprehensive coverage of Santa Anita racing along with many other tracks including Monmouth Park, Gulfstream Park, and Golden Gate Fields.
Racing from Belmont Park and Churchill Downs will be showcased on NYRAs’ “America’s Day at the Races” program airing from Thursday, May 25, through Memorial Day. “America’s Day at the Races” runs on FS2 and FS1 this upcoming week – check the below schedule for air times.
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.
