Big Brown's historic attempt at horse racing's Triple Crown to air live nationwide SIRIUS talk shows 'Down The Stretch' and 'At The Races' will offer seven hours of pre-race coverage live from Belmont Park

NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio
(Nasdaq: SIRI) announced today that it will provide comprehensive coverage of
the 2008 Belmont Stakes and the historic attempt of undefeated colt Big Brown
to achieve thoroughbred racing's illustrious Triple Crown.


On Saturday, June 7 at 5:00 pm ET, SIRIUS listeners around the country
will hear the live race call from Belmont Park in Elmont, NY on ESPN Radio,
SIRIUS channel 120. Acclaimed track announcer Dave Johnson will serve as host
of the two-hour ESPN broadcast with award-winning racing writer Bill Finley as
analyst. Bob Valvano and Ron Flatter will report from the Paddock and Winners
Circle, while Jody McDonald will serve as race handicapper.

After winning both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes in impressive
fashion, Big Brown is poised to become the first Triple Crown winner since
Affirmed won the elusive trifecta in 1978. Despite recently suffering a crack
in his left front hoof, Big Brown remains the field favorite and has many
experts and fans anticipating another historic day at Belmont.

On race day, SIRIUS will offer seven hours of live pre-race coverage from
Belmont Park on SIRIUS channel 127. SIRIUS' exclusive horse racing program,
Down The Stretch, will broadcast live from Belmont Park in its normal timeslot
from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm ET with an additional live broadcast from 3:00 to
5:00 pm ET. Hosted by Dave Johnson and Bill Finley, Down The Stretch will
provide the latest updates on Big Brown's health, a final analysis of the race
field and interviews with jockeys, trainers and owners. From 12:00 to 3:00 pm
ET on race day, a special edition of the daily show At The Races with Steve
Byk will air live from Belmont. All pre-race programming will air on SIRIUS
channel 127.

At The Races will also broadcast live from Belmont every weekday afternoon
this week from 4:00 to 7:00 pm ET on SIRIUS channel 126. Byk will report on
all the latest news from the track and chat with handicapping experts and
trainers each day to give listeners an in-depth look at the field leading up
to race day.

"Winning the Triple Crown is so rare a feat that when a horse comes this
close, the sports world stops to pay attention," said Steve Cohen, SIRIUS'
Vice President and General Manager of Sports Programming. "During the week
our hosts will be at Belmont every day giving fans the latest reports from the
track and the paddocks. On race day, we will provide a full seven hours of
pre-race programming that covers the event from every angle. Whether Big
Brown gallops into history on Saturday or another horse beats the odds to win,
SIRIUS listeners can follow along every step of the way."
