The lineup includes a new home, announced Thursday, for the year's
highest profile race, the Queen's Plate, which will be broadcast live on
The Sports Network (TSN) for the first time ever.
The Queen's Plate, the first jewel in Canada's Triple Crown, is slated
for Sunday, June 25. A fast-paced 60 minutes of coverage, climaxing in
two minutes of horse power over 10 furlongs, is scheduled to start at
5:30 p.m.
The Prince of Wales Stakes (July 16 at Fort Erie), the second jewel,
and the Breeders' Stakes (August 6), the third jewel, return to The
Score in special one-hour time slots from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The Score is also set to air one-hour specials covering the June 11
Labatt Woodbine Oaks (4:30 p.m.) and the inaugural edition of the
Northern Dancer Breeders' Cup Turf (4:30 p.m.) on July 23.
A 90-minute special featuring the September 17 Bell Woodbine Mile (4:00
p.m.) and a two-hour broadcast October 22, comprising the E.P Taylor and
Pattison Canadian International (3:00 p.m.) are also keys to The Score's
stakes menu.
The Score continues its full-card afternoon racing coverage with live
Woodbine coverage, usually from noon to 6:00 p.m., on all but two
Sundays from April 2 to September 3 (except April 9 and June 25).
On the aforementioned Labatt Woodbine Oaks, Prince of Wales, Northern
Dancer and Breeders' Stakes days, regular coverage will end at 4:35 p.m.
to accommodate enhanced coverage of the stakes event.
Fans can also find racing coverage on The Score Wednesday evenings from
May 3 to October 25 (with the exception of July 5) from 7:30 p.m. to
10:00 p.m.
In addition to the shows on The Score and TSN, thoroughbred racing
coverage will also enjoy its first full year on SUNtv, which began its
relationship with Woodbine mid-way through last season.
SUNtv is scheduled to air 26 editions of Woodbine Post Time on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons, concluding December 2, second last day of the
168-day meet.
Most broadcasts will incorporate the day's stakes feature into the
two-hour program, which airs from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
