HorseRacing TV will present live coverage of Belmont Park's post position draw for the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships on Wednesday beginning at 8 a.m. (PDT).

The unique 1 1/2-mile layout of the Belmont Park main track gives added importance to the post positions drawn for the $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I), with that race starting on the clubhouse turn.

Once the feed of the draw is concluded, HRTV will also include analysis and interviews with key connections for selected Breeders' Cup starters. The Breeders' Cup involves eight championship races, totaling $14 million in purse money. Pre-entries earlier this week drew 119 possible starters.

Laffit Pincay III and Jeff Siegel will be at Belmont to anchor HRTV's four-day Breeders' Cup coverage, and they will be joined by reporter Becky Witzman.
