The 21-day fall meet of Churchill Downs, which kicks off Sunday, Oct. 28, and continues through Sunday, Nov. 25, will be televised live by TVG. The coverage will begin Sunday at 1 p.m. with the 14th annual Stars of Tomorrow program.
In addition to regular coverage, TVG will carry the first two Breeders' Cup races Saturday, Nov. 3, the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint and the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, as well as the undercard races on both Breeders' Cup days, Nov. 2-3. Contracts specify the main coverage of the two championship days must be carried by NBC and NBCSN.
“Churchill Downs' fall meet consistently offers some of the very best racing in the US and we are very excited to showcase this meet for racing fans across the country,” said Kip Levin, CEO of TVG. “The return of the Breeders' Cup to Churchill Downs this year adds a layer of anticipation to this meet and we look forward to bringing our viewers the first two Breeders' Cup races on Championship Saturday and the supporting stakes and races on both days of the event.”
