Where to Watch/Listen: Horse Racing Coverage for Feb. 3-6
Events / TravelAfter a spectacular slate of racing to close out January highlighted by Life Is Good’s win in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes last Saturday, the first weekend of February promises no letup with three qualifying points preps for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on the schedule.
Saturday, Feb. 5, Gulfstream Park hosts the Holy Bull Stakes and Aqueduct will run the Withers Stakes, while on Sunday, Feb. 6, the Robert B. Lewis Stakes will be held at Santa Anita Park. All three preps offer entry points to Derby 148 on a 10-4-2-1 basis.
All three of those races will be broadcast on TVG as part of their weekend schedule, and the Withers will be showcased on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” program along with other races from Aqueduct and Tampa Bay Downs. “America’s Day at the Races” airs from Friday to Sunday on FS2 and FS1 – check the below schedule for air times.
This week’s livestreaming coverage is highlighted by “Santa Anita: Road to the Derby Live!” produced by America’s Best Racing. The livestream will cover the Robert B. Lewis Stakes at “The Great Race Place” Sunday with a start time to be announced. “Santa Anita: Road to the Derby Live!” will be hosted by ABR’s Dan Tordjman, Ren Carothers, Curtis Kalleward and Jessica Paquette and be streamed on both ABR’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels as well as on Santa Anita’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels.
