Where to Watch/Listen: Horse Racing Coverage April 17-21
Events / Travel
The 150th Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is now less than three weeks away, and all qualifying prep races have concluded. Contenders are either settling in at Churchill Downs or preparing to ship to the iconic Louisville track for the May 4 run for the roses, and in about a week and a half from now, media coverage of horse racing will reach its annual zenith and last for seven or eight days as the buzz builds for what promises to be an exciting Derby (aren’t they all?).
Meanwhile, top-class horse racing continues at venues including Keeneland, which will hold the final full week of racing at its spring meet from Wednesday, April 17 through Sunday, April 21 before concluding with three dates next week. FanDuel TV provides comprehensive Keeneland coverage, including carrying the “Today at Keeneland” show Saturdays and Sundays on its channel during the meet; the popular program hosted by Gabby Gaudet and Scott Hazelton streams live every day of live racing on Keeneland.com, Keeneland’s YouTube channel, and other Lexington-area outlets.
FanDuel TV will also show live racing from tracks such as Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, Laurel Park, and Golden Gate Fields as part of their comprehensive package.
Action from Aqueduct and Oaklawn Park is showcased on “America’s Day at the Races” from Thursday, April 18 through Sunday, April 21. The NYRA-produced show airs on FS2 and FS1 this week – check the below schedule for 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.
America’s Best Racing’s livestream “Keeneland Weekend Kickoff LIVE!” continues this Friday, April 19, on-site from Keeneland’s The Hill, the popular tailgating area just east of the racetrack. Hosted by ABR’s Rachel Miller, analyst Ren Carothers, and handicapper Alexa Zepp, “Keeneland Weekend Kickoff LIVE!” starts at 4 p.m. ET and features analysis of and picks for the day’s races as well as guests from Keeneland, area horse farms, and the Ed Brown Society celebrating African Americans in the horse industry. It airs on ABR’s Facebook, X/Twitter, and YouTube channels and on its Instagram account.
