TVG has announced that it will offer coverage of next week's Keeneland January sale. TVG2 will show sales sessions in their entirety Monday, Jan. 9 and Tuesday, Jan. 10, with additional coverage Jan. 11. Christina Blacker will be on-site Monday and Tuesday to provide reports and interviews for both TVG and TVG2.
“Keeneland applauds TVG's efforts to provide fans a comprehensive view of the horse industry, and we look forward to their coverage of the January Horses of All Ages Sale,” Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said. “In order for fans to really appreciate the economics and excitement of racing, they have to understand a horse's journey from the breeding farm and sale to the racetrack.”
TVG will also introduce a new show, The Starting Gate, this month. The hour-long program will air Saturday and Sunday mornings on TVG2, and will feature comprehensive coverage of various aspects of Thoroughbred racing, including the bloodstock industry.
“Along with the wagering that we focus on every day, Thoroughbred breeding and sales is a major economic engine that drives participation in horse racing and The Starting Gate will shine the spotlight on this important aspect of our sport,” said Kip Levin, CEO of Betfair TVG. “There are people and stories behind every horse that reaches the starting gate and we want to bring those stories to racing fans everywhere.”
