Fox jumps on San Antonio/Donn to launch '15 Tour

I like they are offering a pick 4 on the (4) races
being shown. Stuff like that doesn't happen too often

Good for them. This assures that GP and SA races will run at the correct post times and not milk every dime til the horses get in the gate.

Mig is always a good listen and , little andy, will be super effusive like a kid in a candyshop. Good crew.

milk every dime?

there have been times i prayed for a delayed post time while standing behind someone who has never used a machine to place bets, and can't figure it out, and i ran to that one because another was broken...

Yes, every dime.Post times at gp and santa anita are mere suggestions, they usually go off at least 5 minutes after the board is at " 0 " Theyflash pool totals on screen as it goes along,and you can go to get something to eat,hit the john and then wait for the race to start . This is only gp and sa, i played FG the other day and was rushed to get plays in as they run the races to schedule and i was used to the other gp,sa races.. I have been at tracks where your description is true, not gp, sa now. I can understand it more when the race starts a p4,p5,p6 sequence.

Saturday’s Telecast of The Jockey Club Tour on FOX Sports 1 to Feature Chrome-Belief Rematch

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.
