TVG, America's horse racing network, will be live on site at Keeneland, presented by WinStar Farm, for each day of the track's Summer Meet which runs from Wednesday, July 8th through Sunday, July 12th and will feature exclusive coverage of the $600,000 Blue Grass Stakes (GII) on Saturday, July 11th. The award-winning network will also be live from Del Mar, presented by Runhappy, this weekend as the track kicks off its summer meet on Friday, July 10. TVG will again partner with NBC Sports on Sunday as “Trackside Live” will be simulcast from 5:00 p.m. ET to 7:00 p.m. ET. featuring the $175,000 TVG Elkhorn Stakes (GII) from Keeneland.
At Keeneland, three-year-olds will compete for a spot in the starting gate in September's Kentucky Derby (GI) in the $600,000 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G2) on Saturday, July 11, one of six stakes races carded on the day. Art Collector, a homebred son of Bernardini for owner Bruce Lunsford, headlines a list of probable entrants for the race. Trained by Thomas Drury, Jr., he is undefeated this year with back to back allowance wins.
The opening day feature on Del Mar's ten-race opening day card is the $100,000 Runhappy Oceanside Stakes. The one-mile turf race is restricted to three-year-olds and has drawn a field of twelve. The field includes the Dan Blacker-trained Hit the Road who is fresh off of a victory in May at Santa Anita. The stakes winning son of More Than Ready will have Umberto Rispoli aboard.
The first week of Del Mar's 36- day meet will feature TVG analysts Christina Blacker, Britney Eurton, Mike Joyce and Joaquin Jamie live on site at the racetrack with exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage. Simon Bray will be partaking in the broadcast remotely from his home.
The Keeneland meet will conclude on Sunday with a pair of stakes races including the $175,000 TVG Elkhorn Stakes (G2), a mile and a half turf race.
