I assumed the CCA Oaks was part of the Summer at Saratoga series. I guess not. It doesn't start til August which is kinda interesting in that NBC's gonna have Olympics programming on all their platforms (including NBC Sports, I imagine). I wonder if it'll help our ratings to have horse racing coverage plopped in the middle of that or if people will just flip over to more Olympic events on another NBC channel. Here's the scheduling:
Saturday, August 11 - 6:00-7:00 PM ET NBC Sports Network Grade 2, $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap
Sunday, August 12 - 6:00-7:00 PM ET - NBC Sports Network - Grade 2, $200,000 Adirondack and Grade 2, $200,000 Saratoga Special
Saturday, August 18 - 5:00-6:00 PM ET - NBC Sports Network Grade 1, $600,000 Alabama and Grade 1, $600,000 Sword Dancer Invitational
