The New York Racing Association announced March 18 an expanded weekend broadcast schedule for "America's Day at the Races," NYRA's partnership with Fox Sports to televise horse races from around the country.
"America's Day at the Races" will air March 20 from 1:30-3 p.m. ET on FS2 and 3-6:30 p.m. on FS1. March 21-22 races will air on FS1 from 1:30-6:30 p.m. The 15 hours of weekend coverage will include live racing from Aqueduct Racetrack, Oaklawn Park, and Tampa Bay Downs.
"During these uncertain times, our goal this weekend is to provide some normalcy for sports fans and horseplayers," NYRA chief revenue officer Tony Allevato said. "Thoroughbred racing is an economic engine across the country that sustains good-paying jobs and hourly workers. These shows are an expression of support for an entire industry."
"America's Day at the Races" is presented by Runhappy, Claiborne Farm, and America's Best Racing. The show is hosted by Greg Wolf, and this weekend's broadcast team includes Richard Migliore, Gary Stevens, Michelle Yu, Laffit Pincay III, Nancy Holthus, Tom Amoss, and Jonathon Kinchen.
Fans can wager on the races via advance deposit wagering platforms. Free Equibase-provided past performances are available on the NYRA website.
