On Saturday, June 6, SiriusXM will air live broadcasts originating from Belmont Park in Elmont, NY starting at 8:00 am ET and airing on SiriusXM Sports Zone, channel 92 on satellite radios, on the SiriusXM app and online at SiriusXM.com. The pre-race coverage includes Horse Racing Radio Network's (HRRN's) exclusive coverage of the Belmont undercard stakes at 2:00 pm ET. It will lead into the live call of the 147(th) running of the Belmont Stakes, heard on SiriusXM Sports Zone via NBC Sports Radio, who will present live coverage from 5:00 - 7:30 pm ET (post time approximately 6:50 pm ET), produced in partnership with HRRN and Westwood One.

American Pharoah won the Kentucky Derby by a length on May 2, then turned in a remarkable performance on May 16 in the Preakness Stakes, where despite starting from the rail and running in sloppy conditions, he blew away the field to win by seven lengths. He, along with jockey Victor Espinoza, will attempt to become just the 12(th) Triple Crown winner in thoroughbred racing history, and the first since Affirmed won the elusive trifecta in 1978.

HRRN's Mike Penna will anchor the Belmont coverage along with analysts Jude Feld and Kurt Becker, with Sean Clancy and Jeff Bloom providing paddock commentary and interviews. NBC Sports Network's race caller Larry Collmus will provide the live Belmont call.

Pre-race coverage airing on SiriusXM will include HRRN's Equine Forum show, airing live from Belmont from 8:00 - 10:00 am ET with live interviews and analysis.

It will be followed by a special edition of Down The Stretch, hosted by Dave Johnson and Bill Finley, starting at 10:00 am ET. Johnson, the acclaimed track announcer, and Finley will provide listeners with day-of news and pre-race analysis, and interviews with jockeys, trainers and owners.

Throughout the week leading up to race day, At The Races with Steve Byk airs daily from 6:00 - 10:00 am ET featuring daily interviews with handicapping experts and trainers and an in-depth look at the field. (Sirius channel 220, XM channel 206 and channel 964 on the SiriusXM app.)
