This upcoming weekend marks the two-week countdown to the 41st Breeders’ Cup World Championships, held Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar. The fields for the 14 Breeders’ Cup races are coming into focus, with pre-entries scheduled to be released on Oct. 23. In the meantime, top-class racing continues at venues such as Keeneland Race Course, Belmont and the Big A, Santa Anita Park, and Woodbine.

Action from Keeneland, Santa Anita, Woodbine, and other tracks will be broadcast on FanDuel TV as part of their daily package – and in addition to the FanDuel TV Keeneland coverage, the popular preview show “Today at Keeneland,” hosted by Gabby Gaudet and Scott Hazelton, will be streamed each day of the track’s live meet on Keeneland.com, Keeneland Select, and Keeneland’s YouTube channel, starting at 11:30 a.m. ET.

Live racing from Belmont at the Big A can be viewed live on “America’s Day at the Races” from Thursday, Oct. 17, through Sunday, Oct. 20. That NYRA-produced program airs on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times. The Saturday “America’s Day at the Races” show will also feature races from the Far Hills steeplechase meet in New Jersey.

There’s bonus coverage on FOX Sports on stand-alone broadcasts this week as well. Racing from British Champions Day at Ascot will air on FS1 and FS2 Saturday morning, including the final two “Win and You’re In” preps for the 2024 Breeders’ Cup – the QIPCO Champion Stakes (a qualifier for the Longines Turf) and the QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Maker’s Mark Filly & Mare Turf). Harness racing from the Breeders Crown at The Meadowlands will air on FS2 Saturday evening.

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.
