Saturday, March 4 is arguably the biggest weekend so far this year on the road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve. Four prep races offering qualifying points will be held at tracks around the country, and there are several other notable races on the schedule as well.

Three of the four preps offer points for Derby 149 distributed on a 50-20-15-10-5 basis to the top five finishers in the race: the Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park; the Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct; and the San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita Park. The remaining prep, the John Battaglia Stakes at Turfway Park, offers points on a 20-8-6-4-2 distribution pattern to the top five.

The Fountain of Youth and San Felipe will be broadcast live on CNBC as part of a two-hour show from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. ET on March 4.
