2025 Kentucky Derby Trail: Three Heating Up, Three Cooling Down for March 18
The first full weekend of October is upon us, and that means it’s time for the grand finale of the Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” schedule in North America. There are an incredible 15 qualifying preps scheduled from Friday to Sunday, eight of them at picturesque Keeneland Race Course in Kentucky, which will hold its popular Fall Stars weekend starting on Friday.
Several Keeneland “Win and You’re In” races will be shown on CNBC and streamed on Peacock as the final broadcasts of NBC Sports’ Road to the Breeders’ Cup series. Those shows will run from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. ET Saturday and from 5 p.m.-6 p.m. ET Sunday and feature live coverage of races including the Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes and the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes.
FanDuel TV will also broadcast those races and is the go-to network for comprehensive coverage of Keeneland’s meet, which runs through Oct. 27. A team of analysts will be on-site each day for in-depth reporting and handicapping, and every race will be shown live. FanDuel TV continues its daily coverage of many other tracks in North America and abroad, including three Breeders’ Cup preps at Santa Anita Park on Saturday and a big weekend at Woodbine featuring the Canadian International Stakes on Sunday.
Racing from the Belmont at the Big A meet is showcased on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” from Wednesday (which includes two rescheduled Breeders’ Cup preps) through Sunday, airing on either FS2 or FS1. There are three more Breeders’ Cup preps scheduled over the weekend at Belmont at the Big A – check the below schedule for air times and channels.
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.
For livestreaming content, ABR will host a show covering the Canadian International and other stakes Sunday on-site from the Toronto track. “Woodbine LIVE!” will be hosted by ABR’s Dan Tordjman and Maddy Playle from the Racing Post and feature surprise guests throughout. “Woodbine LIVE!” has a start time of 4:15 p.m. ET and will stream on ABR’s Facebook, Twitter/X, and YouTube channels.
Here’s a rundown of TV, livestreaming, and radio content for a huge weekend in horse racing.
