Stephen Foster Removed from Breeders’ Cup Television Lineup

In a modification to the previously announced “Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In” television schedule, Breeders' Cup Limited has eliminated the July 1 GI Stephen Foster S. from television coverage. Logistical challenges arose when the race was moved from Churchill Downs to Ellis Park along with the remainder of Churchill's current meet.

The Breeders' Cup Challenge Series features 80 qualifying races in 11 countries. Many of the races, including the Stephen Foster, will be televised on FanDuel TV with five live programs split between NBC, FOX, and CNBC. The complete Challenge Series television schedule can be viewed at BreedersCup.com/races/challenge-series.

PDJF Telethon Raises Over $300,000

The fifth annual PDJF Telethon, presented by Lane's End Farm, raised over $300,000 for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund Apr. 23. Since the inaugural telethon in 2018, over $1.5 million has been raised to support jockeys who have suffered serious on-track injuries.

“When everyone in the sport comes together, good things can happen,” said Kevin Grigsby, FanDuel TV executive producer. “We are grateful to our industry partners at Keeneland, Santa Anita and NYRA for their collaborative efforts to make this event a success. We are proud of all that we have raised so far but know the work is not done–we are already looking ahead to next year's telethon.”

“Being a part of this event is a great honor,” said Mike Joyce, a board member of the PDJF and on-air host at FanDuel TV. “I want to personally thank every single person who took time to donate to this worthwhile cause. No matter how large or small a donation, each one is so important.”

There were donations from supporters across the country including major donations from Jim McIngvale, Lee Einsidler, Vince Foglia and Lane's End Farm. In addition, FanDuel matched all donations up to $100,000.

“We are grateful to everyone who has been supportive of the annual telethon that has made it a success for the PDJF,” said Nancy LaSala, PDJF Board President. “It also allows the jockeys from the past and present to connect with the racing fans in a very personal way. This would not be possible without the platform provided by FanDuel TV who from the beginning supported this concept.”
