Three major qualifying points races for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve were held last Saturday and televised nationwide. This upcoming week is highlighted by the final points prep for Derby 149, the Stonestreet Lexington Stakes Saturday, April 15 at Keeneland. The Lexington offers points to the top five finishers on a 20-8-6-4-2 basis and may draw one or two contenders who currently sit just outside the top 20 cutoff mark in a last-ditch attempt to secure a berth to the Derby on May 6.
The Lexington Stakes will be televised live on FanDuel TV as part of the network’s comprehensive coverage of Keeneland’s spring meet. FanDuel TV will also show races from Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, and many other tracks as part of its normal daily schedule.
Racing from Aqueduct, Oaklawn Park, and Tampa Bay Downs will be televised on “America’s Day at the Races,” including the Apple Blossom Handicap Saturday at Oaklawn for fillies and mares. “America’s Day at the Races” will be shown on FS2 and FS1 this week from Thursday to Sunday – check the below schedule for air times.
Horse racing from tracks around the world is available to subscribers on Racetrack Television Network (RTN), which can be livestreamed on all devices (computer, tablet and smartphone) and on TV via DISH Network, Amazon Fire and Roku.
