America’s Best Racing (ABR), and the Breeders’ Cup, announced the launch of a new live-show series Breeders’ Cup Live! (#BCLive)The series, which will feature six, 90-minute live raceday shows on Breeders’ Cup Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube channels and cross-posted on ABR’s social media channels, will provide fans and bettors with an second-screen experience that complements NBC Sports’ national coverage of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series with a focus on the road to the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
“We’re excited to enhance our ABR partnership with the Breeders’ Cup by offering fans and sports bettors an immersive second-screen experience that will highlight select BC Challenge Series races and profile an array of gambling opportunities,” said Stephen B. Panus, president of TJC Media Ventures Inc. “As we strive to attract and immerse the younger generation into our sport, the second-screen Breeders’ Cup Live! show will seek to personalize and optimize the television experience, while also allowing for social media integration across both the Breeders’ Cup’s and America’s Best Racing’s social channels.”
Longtime ABR correspondent and handicapper Dan Tordjman will host Breeders’ Cup Live! alongside ESPN Radio’s Bram Weinstein, who’s the voice of ABR’s national radio show and podcast “The Winner’s Circle” on SB Nation Radio and of InstaBram. During all of the Breeders’ Cup Live! shows scheduled for 2020, viewers will see and hear from other leading handicappers and racing personalities.
