Venue for August 10 - Arlington

[JolyB]

Entries are now available for the whole card. The quality of the card is clearly at the back end, with much less quality in the early part than I would expect on the track's biggest day of the year. Perhaps that speaks volumes about Illinois racing.

I don't think that any of us will grieve over omitting the first two races, a couple of 5 1/2 furlong all-weather track races for maiden 2 year olds, most of whom have yet to race.

We will be starting with Race 3 and doing the rest of the 12 race card, ending with the Grade 3 Pucker Up. The scheduled post time for race 3 will be 1:21 PM Central time.

I had previously posted that NBC would provide network coverage of the Million. That is probably incorrect, as the time for the Beverly D will be 4:53 Central and the Million will be 6:12 Central, while the NBC coverage will be too early for them. I think you can find live coverage on Fox Sports 2.

NOPE
All I see on Fox sports 2 is = Saratoga live
that is followed by another sports program

i DO SEE THE ARLINGTON MILLION ON ALTITUDE NETWORK
Which may suggest it could be on TVG as well

I have a proposition for you. If Fox Sports 2 does not provide coverage of the Million around 6:12 Central on Saturday, you have my permission to shout "NOPE" in as large a font as your computer will allow and I will don a dunce cap. I don't think you will have that opportunity.

Fox Sports 2 has coverage on Saturday from 2:30 to 5:00 Eastern and then again from 6:00 to 7:30 Eastern. Both are called "Saratoga Live". The time in between is taken by NBC, who will probably cover the Saratoga Special (at 5:11) and the Fourstardave (at 5:46). The final race at Saratoga will be at 6:55.

Why then is Fox Sports 2 continuing Saratoga Live until 7:30? Andy Serling, one of the program's hosts, explained this afternoon that they will be able to provide special coverage of the Million on Saturday in that extended time slot. That was the basis for my observation. I try to do my homework before posting.

Don’t shoot the messenger

Only trying to be helpful ~
I reported what I saw on the Comcast guide
It did not show the Arlington million on Fox sports 2
other than just Saratoga live @ 2–5:30 MT
The Show Following Hoeses = Red Bull X Fighters

if They ARE including Arlington
And they should’ve included in the listing on the guide

No good deed goes on punished

We have Comcast also. Unfortunately, different regions of even the same cable provider will have different programming. Hope that yours provides that coverage for you.
