Preakness 145 headlines a spectacular weekend of racing that also features the opening of Keeneland Race Course’s fall meet, which hosts a total of nine Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” races from Friday to Sunday in preparation for the 37^th World Championships at Keeneland on Nov. 6-7. This year, the Preakness is also a “Win and You’re In” race, offering the winner an automatic, fees-paid berth to the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 7.

NBC will broadcast the Preakness Stakes on Oct. 3 during an hour-and-a-half show from 4:30 to 6 p.m. ET.

Highlights of Saturday’s Preakness Stakes coverage on NBC include:

• A feature on Bob Baffert’s Kentucky Derby, which included a half-hour span in which Thousand Words, who is competing in this weekend’s Preakness Stakes, was scratched after flipping in the paddock, leading to the broken wrist of assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes. After winning the Derby, Authentic then acted up in the winner’s circle, causing Baffert to fall.

• Reporter/handicapper Matt Bernier reports from Keeneland Race Course, and looks ahead to the upcoming Breeders’ Cup World Championships, Nov. 6-7 at Keeneland on NBC and NBCSN.
