After an exciting Labor Day weekend of racing across the country, New York racing takes a breather for a weekend prior to the opening of Aqueduct Racetrack's Belmont at the Big A meeting.
There's still plenty of action on hand, however, highlighted by closing weekends at Del Mar and Colonial Downs and a huge card at Kentucky Downs on Sept. 7 including two Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" qualifiers, the FanDuel TV Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes (G2T) and the Ainsworth Turf Sprint Stakes (G2T). The Saturday card at Kentucky Downs, featuring six graded stakes, has been named the "FanDuel TV U.S. Open Turf Championships" by track officials.
Races from all three of those tracks will be showcased on FanDuel TV, which also broadcasts races from other tracks including Gulfstream Park and Woodbine this week.
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.
Here's a rundown of this week's TV and radio coverage of horse racing:
