Greg Wolf, Richard Migliore, Andy Serling, Simon Bray and Alyssa Ali have
been tabbed to handle the on-air duties for The Jockey Club Tour on FOX racing
series, which makes its debut on Sunday with the Donn Handicap at
Gulfstream Park. Wolf will serve as the host while Bray and Serling will handle
analyst/handicapper duties. Ali will serve as the team’s reporter and Migliore
will be an analyst.
The Jockey Club Tour on FOX is a joint production led by Brad Zager, vice
president productions of FOX Sports, and Ken Adelson, executive producer of TJC
Media Ventures, who will produce all nine broadcasts.
The nine-race series will air on FOX Sports 1 and will feature several of North
America’s most prestigious races for older horses as well as the $10,000,000
Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest Thoroughbred race.
Each telecast will include at least two top stakes races featuring the leading
horses in North America. The partnership between the FOX Sports Media Group and
The Jockey Club is a multi-year agreement that was announced in August 2013.
“These nine shows will all be a fast-paced mix of behind-the-scenes features,
gambling insights and pageantry surrounding the event, and they should appeal to
both newcomers and longtime fans of Thoroughbred racing,” said Jason Wilson,
vice president of business development for The Jockey Club, which is
underwriting the series. “After a series of auditions and conversations with
many individuals, we felt that each of these five individuals would bring both a
passion for the sport and a unique perspective to the telecast.”
“We can’t wait to get started on FOX Sports 1 this Sunday with The Jockey Club,
and this is going to be a great, well-informed group to carry us through the
series,” said John Entz, executive vice president, production, FOX Sports 1.
