The Jockey Club Gold Cup, which offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic in November at Del Mar, has attracted an all-star list of nominations, including last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic-winner Sierra Leone, trained by five-time Eclipse Award-winner Chad Brown; G1 Stephen Foster winner Mindframe for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher; and multiple G1 winner White Abarrio for trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr.
“This is another example of FOX Sports’ commitment to showcasing the best events in horse racing on their biggest platform,” said Tony Allevato, NYRA chief revenue officer. “The Jockey Club Gold Cup could be one of the great races of the year, and we appreciate FOX Sports featuring the race before a national audience.”
This summer marked the 10th season of Saratoga Live, the acclaimed television show providing fans with daily coverage of the summer meet on the FOX Sports family of networks. The partnership between NYRA and FOX Sports has grown to include FOX Saratoga Saturday, which returned in 2025 to broadcast six consecutive Saturdays and will culminate its summer run with coverage of DraftKings Travers Day this Saturday beginning at 3 p.m.
Highlighted by Saturday’s 156th renewal of the G1, $1.25 million DraftKings Travers, the 40-day summer meet will conclude on Labor Day, Sept. 1.
