Jockey Club Tour on FOX adds Tom Durkin to lineup
Saturday’s Telecast of The Jockey Club Tour on FOX Sports 1 to Feature Chrome-Belief Rematch
Quote:
The Jockey Club Tour on FOX Sports 1 will break from the gate in dramatic fashion Saturday with a two-hour telecast featuring four major stakes races from historic Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park, a Pick Four wager on those races, a betting challenge that will benefit equine charities and several feature stories on horses and people.
The telecast, which will air from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. EST on FOX Sports 1, will include the $500,000 Donn Handicap, the $500,000 San Antonio, the $300,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap and the $200,000 San Marcos Stakes.
The San Antonio will feature 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome and 2013 Eclipse Award winner Shared Belief as the two renew a rivalry that started in the controversial running of the Breeders’ Cup Classic last November 1.

For this and other select telecasts on The Jockey Club Tour on FOX Sports 1 series, Tom Durkin, the longtime racecaller for the New York Racing Association Inc., Breeders’ Cup and Triple Crown races, will write and narrate an essay. Saturday’s commentary will focus on California Chrome and Shared Belief.
Greg Wolf, Richard Migliore, Andy Serling, Simon Bray and Alyssa Ali will once again handle the on-air duties.
