MASN will begin its second year of live coverage of Saratoga live thoroughbred racing program beginning on Saturday, July 31. MASN partners with The New York Racing Association to deliver on consecutive Saturdays through early September.
MASN’s Saturdays at Saratoga will be one hour live program that includes 10 championship-caliber stakes races including the Travers, Jim Dandy, Whitney, Betfair TVG Alabama and Woodward.
Jason Blewitt, Eric Donovan and Andy Serling will provide expert commentary for each program that will be broadcast live from historic Saratoga Race Course, named by Sports Illustrated as one of the world’s greatest sporting venues.
MASN kicks off the program on Saturday, July 31 with the Diana and the Jim Dandy live at 5 PM. Saturdays at Saratoga culminates with the prestigious Woodward race on September 4th. Last year, Rachel Alexandra made history as the first filly to win the Woodward facing older males.
MASN strives to provide the highest caliber national and local thoroughbred racing to viewers throughout Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia and North Carolina.
MASN carries a variety of additional racing programming including “Thoroughbred Week,” a regular recap of racing insights and highlights, as well as “Against the Odds,” a weekly preview of the country’s top stakes races produced by HRTV, and “Inside Information” an in-depth look at the personalities in thoroughbred racing, also produced by HRTV. The network has also televised Trackside Live, a weekly tour of the best racetracks in the country.
Hal Handel, NYRA vice president and COO said “We are looking forward to another great summer of racing and we are pleased to partner with MASN and vastly expand the audience for ‘Saturdays at Saratoga. Saratoga Race Course hosts the best thoroughbred racing in the country and we’re delighted that viewers throughout the mid-Atlantic will be able to watch the action on some of our biggest days.”
MASN spokesman Todd Webster said “MASN has earned widespread praise from viewers for its genuine commitment to promoting and televising the very best of the thoroughbred sport in and around the mid-Atlantic region. Saturdays at Saratoga brings the magic of that prestigious series and the charm of Saratoga Springs to seven million homes each week during the late summer.”
