We’re less than three weeks away from the biggest event in North American Thoroughbred racing, and contenders for the 149thKentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve are making their way to Churchill Downs to settle in and conduct final workouts before the big race on May 6.
In the meantime, top-level racing continues around the country as Keeneland and Aqueduct continue their spring meets, Oaklawn Park reaches its final stretch run, and Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park transition into their spring-summer meets.
Racing at Aqueduct, Oaklawn Park, and Tampa Bay Downs will be shown on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” from Thursday to Sunday this week on FS2. Check the below schedule for air times.
FanDuel TV continues its daily comprehensive coverage of the sport with extensive coverage of Keeneland’s meet and televised racing from many other tracks as well.
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.
