How to watch the Woodward Stakes; TV coverage set

The Saratoga racing season comes to a close this weekend, with the headline race Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Woodward Stakes, the centerpiece of a 90-minute NBCSN telecast that could include horses going on to the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Also scheduled during NBCSN's live TV window is the Grade 1, $350,000 Spinaway Stakes. The "Win and You're In" race awards its victor expenses-paid trip to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.

NBCSN will be live from 5:30-7 p.m. ET from Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Randy Moss hosts Saturday’s telecast, and will be joined by Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey, reporter Jay Privman and Daily Racing Form Handicapper Matt Bernier.

You can also tune into the races via advanced deposit wagering services such as TVG and NYRA Bets, while Horse Racing Radio Network (HRRN) will broadcast on SiriusXM 93 and streaming at www.horseracingradio.net.

The Woodward, run at 1 1/8 miles for 3-year-olds and up, is led by Margoth’s popular stretch-runner Gunnevera, second in the Travers last year for trainer Antonio Sano and third in Gulfstream Park’s Pegasus World Cup in January. The 4-year-old son of Dialed In is 6-for-17 lifetime, which includes a fifth-place finish in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar, and enters off a confidence building allowance win at Gulfstream August 10.

Post time for the Woodward is 6:47 p.m.

The Spinaway, run at seven furlongs, is expected to clarify an otherwise muddled East Coast 2-year-old filly division, though it’s a filly from the West Coast who will likely be favored, as Summer Wind Equine’s Chasing Yesterday, a half-sister to 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, will ship in for trainer Bob Baffert. The daughter of Tapit won her debut at Del Mar July 28 by 4 ¼ lengths.

Post time for the Spinaway is 6:13 p.m.
