TVG, America's horse racing network, will be live on site this weekend at Del Mar covering a loaded weekend of racing that includes two Breeders' Cup Challenge Series “Win and You're In” races – the $250,0000 Bing Crosby Stakes (GI) and the $250,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (GI) as well as the $100,000 Shared Belief Stakes which will serve as a prep race for the Kentucky Derby (GI) in September.

There will be expert analysis and exclusive interviews on-site by Todd Schrupp, Mike Joyce, Christina Blacker, and Joaquin Jamie while Simon Bray will be contributing to the broadcast remotely from home.

The winner of Saturday's $250,000 Bing Crosby Stakes (GI) will earn an automatic berth into the Breeders Cup Sprint (GI). The six-furlong contest was reduced to a field of nine when multiple Grade 1 winner McKinzie was an early scratch. The remaining contenders include the East Coast invader Lexitonian for trainer Jack Sisterson. The graded stakes winner will have Drayden Van Dyke in the irons. On Sunday, fillies and mares will take center stage in the $250,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes with a spot in the starting gate in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) at stake. The 2020 Breeders' Cup will be held November 6-7 at Keeneland.

Also on Saturday at Del Mar, the track will host a prep race for September's Kentucky Derby (GI) – the $100,000 Shared Belief Stakes. Carded at a mile and a sixteenth, the race has drawn a field of six contenders including Honor A.P. who will face off against a trio of challengers for trainer Bob Baffert. Honor A.P., trained by John Shirreffs, was last seen winning the Runhappy Santa Anita Derby (GI) in June. Mike Smith will be aboard.

Fans of international racing can tune in to TVG on Friday and Saturday morning to watch racing from Goodwood Racecourse in England. On Friday, the veteran Battaash (IRE) will attempt to win the King George Qatar Stakes (G2) for the fourth consecutive year. The six-year-old gelding is a multiple Group 1 winner and was last seen winning the King's Stand Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot.
