America's Day at the Races, the acclaimed national television show produced by the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) in partnership with FOX Sports, will once again present live coverage and on-site analysis of the Far Hills Race Meeting, the storied one-day steeplechase event that highlights the steeplechase calendar.

The 101st Far Hills Steeplechase Race Meeting will offer $575,000 in purses and include five graded stakes among six races to be run at Moorland Farm in Far Hills, N.J. Highlighted by the Grade 1 $250,000 Grand National, the richest and most prestigious race on the National Steeplechase Association schedule. The one-day meet at Far Hills is the marquis event in American steeplechase racing.

This year's Far Hills meet will honor the late John Forbes, a longtime trainer based at Monmouth Park and a past president of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association. The day's only flat race will be the inaugural $100,000 John Forbes Memorial at 2 miles on the turf. Forbes passed away at the age of 73 on January 31, 2021.

NYRA host Acacia Clement will anchor the coverage from Far Hills joined by journalist Joe Clancy with Richard Migliore reporting throughout the afternoon. America's Day at the Races, which will include all the Saturday action from Belmont at the Big A, will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Should the National League Division Series [NLDS] require a Game 4 then America's Day at the Races will air on FS2 from 12:30-5:30 p.m. If game 4 of the NLDS is not necessary, then America's Day at the Races will air on FS1 from 12:30-5:30 p.m.

In addition to stateside coverage on Saturday afternoon, FOX Sports will present live coverage of British Champions Day from Ascot on FS1 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern. Now in its eighth year, QIPCO British Champions Day, is the richest day on the British racing calendar.

The lucrative card is highlighted by two Breeders' Cup “Win and You're In” Challenge Series events with the winners earning automatic and free entry to the Breeders' Cup World Championships on November 4 and 5 at Keeneland Race Course. The winner of the Group 1, £1.1 million [$1.23 million] Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at 1 mile, scheduled for 10:10 a.m., heads to the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile; with the winner of the 10-furlong Group 1, £1.3 million [$1.45 million] QIPCO Champion Stakes, set for 10:50 a.m., qualifying for the Grade 1, $4 million Breeders' Cup Turf.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool was hit for an $87,511.52 payoff Sunday at Gulfstream Park. The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for three racing days since the Oct. 1 mandatory payout.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

The winning combination on a single ticket was 1-4-8-7-6-4.
