TVG, America's horse racing network and leading ADW platform, will be live at Keeneland for a loaded card this Saturday featuring two graded stakes races including the $500,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (GI). In addition to Keeneland, the award-winning network will also be trackside at Santa Anita and Monmouth Park.
At Keeneland, TVG will be live on site all weekend with Todd Schrupp, Scott Hazelton, Caleb Keller, Gabby Gaudet and Caton Bredar bringing behind-the-scenes coverage, selections and interviews to viewers watching from home. Friday's featured event at Keeneland is the $150,000 Buffalo Trace Franklin County Stakes (GIII) which has drawn a field of twelve including Got Stormy, the heavy favorite at odds of 6-5 on the morning line for trainer Mark Casse. The popular five-year-old mare was the runner-up in the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile (GI) in 2019 and was last seen winning the Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Stakes (GIII). Tyler Gaffalione will be aboard.
The ten-race card on Saturday will feature a pair of graded stakes races – the $200,000 Hagyard Fayette Stakes (GII) and the $500,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (GI). Scheduled to be run at a mile and an eighth on the turf, the race has drawn a contentious field of nine three-year-old fillies including Magic Attitude (GB) and Antoinette, the one-two finishers in the Belmont Oaks Invitational (GI) in September.
The action continues at Monmouth Park and TVG's Tom Cassidy will be live trackside. The featured event of the ten-race card is the $150,000 Monmouth Stakes (GIII) which will be contested at a mile and an eighth on the turf. Trainer Chad Brown will send out two contenders – Serve the King (GB) with Antonio Gallardo in the irons and Almanaar (GB) with jockey Joe Bravo aboard. Almanaar (GB) will be making his first start since winning this race in 2019.
At Santa Anita, the California breeding program will take center stage in the $100,000 California Distaff Handicap featuring California-bred or sired fillies and mares going five and a half furlongs on the turf. TVG will have Christina Blacker, Mike Joyce and Britney Eurton live at the track with analysis, interviews and selections. Simon Bray will be contributing to the broadcast remotely from home.
In addition to racing from Keeneland, Santa Anita and Monmouth Park, TVG will also be showing racing from Gulfstream Park West, Charles Town, Golden Gate and more.
