The 149th Preakness Stakes is in the books, and while connections of top 3-year-olds determine whether or not to contest the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets on June 8, the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend promises to provide great betting opportunities for horseplayers and exciting racing for fans, with several major races on the schedule.
Action from Santa Anita Park highlights FanDuel TV’s schedule over the weekend. “The Great Race Place’s” holiday weekend slate is topped by a stacked Memorial Day card featuring three graded stakes races: the Gamely Stakes and Shoemaker Mile Stakes on turf, and the Hollywood Gold Cup on dirt.
FanDuel TV will also show live racing from Churchill Downs, Gulfstream Park, and other tracks per its usual comprehensive racing package.
Live racing from the Belmont at the Big A meet and from Monmouth Park will be shown on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” from Friday, May 24, through Memorial Day, May 27. “America’s Day at the Races” airs on FS1 and FS2 – see the below schedule for 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.
America’s Best Racing will host an innovative livestream Friday morning that merges the worlds of Thoroughbred racing and Indy car racing. “Horsepower LIVE!” will be streamed live from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday, May 24, starting at 9 a.m. ET. The show will be hosted by NBC’s Britney Eurton, social media content creator Joey Mulinaro, and ABR’s Dan Tordjman and will feature numerous guests, including Indianapolis 500-winning driver Alexander Rossi, a participant in ABR’s “A Stake in Stardom” horse ownership initiative.
“Horsepower LIVE!” will be streamed on ABR’s Facebook, X, and YouTube channels and on its Instagram page. During the show, the winner of ABR’s Horsepower at Indy sweepstakes will be announced. The Horsepower at Indy sweepstakes offers a VIP prize package to the Indiana Derby July 6 at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Entries for the sweepstakes end on Friday, May 24 at 10 a.m. ET.
