ITV racing host Ed Chamberlin confirmed the good news – which came after ITV originally said they had been forced to axe coverage owing to a fixture clash.
He said: “Our determination to show you City Of Troy go for Breeders’ Cup glory means the ITV schedulers have had a re-jig.
“On Saturday, November 2 there will now be a two-hour show for you to enjoy.
“There will be three lives races that will include the Breeders’ Cup Turf and City Of Troy’s bid to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
“It could be very special, it will be live and free-to-air for you from 8pm that Saturday night.
“I’m delighted to tell you that news.”
The Breeders’ Cup is the world championships of racing and also features a strong British and Irish contingent.
