Where to Watch/Listen: Horse Racing Coverage Sept. 6-10
Events / TravelThe upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by top-level turf racing at Kentucky Downs and the final days of Del Mar’s summer meet in California. Kentucky Downs will host live racing on Thursday, Sept. 7, Saturday, Sept. 9, and Sunday, Sept. 10, the last of which is also Del Mar’s closing day. Two Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series races will run at Kentucky Downs on Saturday – the FanDuel Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes, a prep for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf, and the Ainsworth Turf Sprint Stakes, a qualifier for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.
FanDuel TV is the go-to network for comprehensive coverage of both tracks and will show each race from Kentucky Downs and Del Mar live. FanDuel TV will also show racing from many other venues including Gulfstream Park and Woodbine as part of its usual package.
Thoroughbred racing in New York takes the week off between Saratoga Race Course’s finale on Labor Day and the start of the Belmont at the Big A meet Sept. 14. Harness racing from New Jersey and Ohio and international Thoroughbred racing from Leopardstown in Ireland, including Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races, will air on FS2 over the weekend, however – check the below schedule for dates and 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.
