Where to Watch/Listen: Belmont Stakes Festival at Saratoga 2024
Events / Travel
The 2024 Triple Crown season is about to wrap up with a major change in the normal schedule. For the first time, the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets will be held at historic Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York while Belmont Park continues with a massive, multi-year reconstruction project on Long Island.
The 156th Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 8, is the highlight of a four-day Belmont Stakes Racing Festival held at “the Spa” from Thursday, June 6, through Sunday, June 9, with four or more stakes races held each day and three Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” preps also scheduled for Saturday: the Hill ‘n’ Dale Metropolitan Handicap, the Jaipur Stakes Presented by Resolute Racing, and the Ogden Phipps Stakes Presented by Ford.
FOX Sports is the go-to network for the entire extravaganza, with an “America’s Day at the Races” show set for each day on FS1 or FS2 plus national network coverage of the Belmont Stakes and three undercard races on FOX. The network will have two shows running simultaneously Saturday afternoon: the national broadcast on FOX that encompasses racing along with the festivities and fashion at Saratoga, plus an “America’s Day at the Races” show on FS1 geared toward the serious horseplayer.
Curt Menifee, Tom Amoss, and Richard Migliore will host the national show on FOX and Charissa Thompson will host from the paddock, with analysis from Maggie Wolfendale, gambling insights from Chris “The Bear” Fallica and Jonathon Kinchen, and reporting from Tom Rinaldi.
All horse racing coverage from Saratoga can also be streamed live on the FOX Sports app and on FOXSports.com. Check the schedule below for channels and air times for the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at Saratoga from FOX Sports.
Elsewhere, FanDuel TV will broadcast live racing from tracks including Churchill Downs, Woodbine, and Gulfstream Park as part of its daily package. FanDuel TV will also have staff on-site at Golden Gate Fields for the final two days of racing at the northern California track before it closes, Saturday and Sunday.
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 this week, ABR will produce “Belmont Stakes Preview LIVE!” Presented by NYRA Bets on Thursday, June 6, at 7 p.m. ET. Hosted by Dan Tordjman and Anita Marks with a special guest appearance from former ESPN “Sportscenter” anchor Kenny Mayne, “Belmont Stakes Preview LIVE!” will provide in-depth handicapping analysis of the Belmont Stakes and other races on the Friday and Saturday cards at Saratoga. The show streams live on ABR’s Facebook, X, and YouTube channels.
