The GI Breeders' Cup Classic will be shown exclusively live on Nov. 4 by At The Races and Sky Sports, they announced Sunday. The final start for champion and world's highest-rated racehorse Arrogate (Unbridled's Song), the $6-million feature will anchor the Breeders' Cup Saturday program, with At The Races showing all Breeders' Cup World Championships races live in the UK this year, while mixing its own live studio production with full NBC coverage on both Nov. 3 and Nov. 4. Matt Chapman of ATR will report from Del Mar and behind the scenes throughout the Breeders' Cup and Attheraces.com will once again host a dedicated Breeders' Cup event website. Sky Sports will pick up NBC coverage late Saturday evening with their own studio presentation 60 minutes before post time for the Breeders' Cup Classic.
Matthew Imi, Chief Executive, At The Races said, “Arrogate should make this year's Classic very special and the Breeders' Cup continues to be a wonderful and unrivalled international showcase for our sport. We look forward to following all the stories and excitement again with coverage across our TV, website and social media channels.”
Craig Fravel, President and CEO, Breeders' Cup Limited added,
“At The Races has always been a great partner for the Breeders' Cup and we value the dedicated and committed coverage it provides. We are particularly delighted this year, working with ATR, to have secured additional coverage on Sky Sports for the Breeders' Cup Classic.”
