Immediately following, FOX Sports brings viewers full coverage of 156th edition of the Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets live from Saratoga Race Course (4:00 PM ET, FOX).
The network caps off SUPER SATURDAY with FOX MLB’s lead crew of Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal as regionalized baseball coverage is highlighted by a must-see, star-filled interleague showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees (7:30 PM ET, FOX).
STUDIO COVERAGE
Coverage of SUPER SATURDAY begins at 12:30 PM ET as the network’s acclaimed MLB pregame show, led by veteran host Kevin Burkhardt, World Series Champion Alex Rodriguez and Hall of Famers David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, come together for a special edition live from the Bronx.
In addition to preparing viewers for all the action throughout the day, the show features behind-the-scenes access from Yankee Stadium and a sit-down interview between Rodriguez and Mets standout Francisco Lindor. The group also contributes live hits into the network’s Belmont Stakes coverage before sharing their picks for the winner.
