The Jockey Club Tour on FOX returns to upstate New York as it showcases some of the nation's top 2-year-olds on August 10 with live coverage from 5 to 6:30 p.m. ET of the $200,000 Saratoga Special from Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
Saratoga Race Course is one of the most prestigious meets of the year, bringing together top-class horses, jockeys and trainers in its timeless Saratoga Springs, N.Y. setting. The Saratoga Special features 2-year-old Thoroughbreds competing at 6 1/2 furlongs. Horses that race in the Saratoga Special have the potential to make an impact on the 2015 Triple Crown trail.
The on-air duties will be handled by Greg Wolf, Richard Migliore, Andy Serling, Simon Bray, and Alyssa Ali.
