FS1 will carry Saturday's $20-million Saudi Cup, featuring a clash between GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S. winner Knicks Go (Paynter) and 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Runhappy Malibu S. hero Charlatan (Speightstown), during a live one-hour broadcast from 12-1 p.m. ET. The undercard races, with the exception of the Neom Turf Cup, will be shown live on FS2 from 8:30 a.m. ET to noon ET. A live internet feed will be available here.

The 'Golden Hour' telecast will be hosted on site by Nick Luck and Michelle Yu and will be presented with limited commercial interruptions, made possible by Runhappy. Churchill Downs's Travis Stone will provide the race commentary and additional analysis will come from international presenter Tom Stanley, Hayley Moore and Hall of Fame rider Gary Stevens. Laffit Pincay III will report from Aqueduct in New York.
