Racing TV given go-ahead to broadcast 2023 Breeders' Cup

The showpiece event features 14 top-class races, including 13 Grade 1 events and draws horses from all over the world, especially from the UK and Ireland.

Breeders’ Cup President and CEO Drew Fleming said: “The Breeders’ Cup World Championships is a global racing festival that celebrates our great sport, and as participation from horses around the world continues to increase, fans deserve more access to and in-depth coverage of our two-day event.

“Racing TV is a wonderful partner, and we are grateful to continue working with them in the years ahead to expand their coverage of the World Championships for racing fans in the UK and Ireland.”

Martin Stevenson, CEO of Racecourse Media Group, parent company of Racing TV, said: “We are delighted to team up again with Drew and his team in producing and presenting first-rate, live coverage of the Breeders’ Cup and 11 of the 16 Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re in” Challenge races in the U.K. and Ireland which will be live on Racing TV.

“We look forward to telling the Breeders’ Cup stories from these races, in addition to bringing all the latest news, comment and features, via our innovative and engaging television, digital and marketing channels, in the build-up to Keeneland in November.”
