The countdown is on to the 41st Breeders’ Cup World Championships set for Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar, and attention within and outside of the world of horse racing is focused on preparing for the 14 Breeders’ Cup races as contenders ship into Del Mar from all over the world.
Breeders’ Cup coverage begins on FanDuel TV Wednesday, Oct. 23 with a live show featuring the release of pre-entries for the World Championship races. The studio show will air at noon ET and will be hosted by Todd Schrupp and Christina Blacker.
After that, FanDuel TV kicks off its popular “Breakfast at the Breeders’ Cup” series beginning Friday morning, Oct. 25. The shows focus on final morning workouts for Breeders’ Cup contenders as well as analysis of the upcoming races and run through Thursday, Oct. 31. “Breakfast at the Breeders’ Cup” airs live on FanDuel TV from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET each day with reporting from Del Mar, Santa Anita Park, Keeneland Race Course, and Churchill Downs. It will also stream live on Breeders’ Cup digital and social media channels.
FanDuel TV continues its comprehensive coverage of the Keeneland fall meet for the final four days from Wednesday to Saturday, Oct. 26. The network will then shift its Kentucky coverage to Churchill Downs, which kicks off its fall meet Sunday, Oct. 27. FanDuel TV will also show live racing from tracks including Santa Anita Park (which ends its fall meet on Sunday), Gulfstream Park, and Woodbine per its usual schedule.
Live racing from Belmont at the Big A can be viewed on “America’s Day at the Races” from Thursday, Oct. 24, through Sunday. That NYRA-produced program airs on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times. In addition to the Thoroughbred coverage, harness racing from the Breeders Crown at The Meadowlands will air on FOX Sports Friday and Saturday evenings.
