Some TV and radio notes for you on the final Monday of August.

— There will be one more race to be televised from Saratoga Race Course.

MSG will have live coverage of the Woodward Stakes at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Do you think it has anything to do with superstar horse Curlin racing in it?

— WNYT (Ch. 13) will carry the New England Patriots-New York Giants preseason game at 7 p.m. Thursday. That will pre-empt the NBC telecast of the Jacksonville-Washington game at the same time.
