One of the biggest weekends on the road to the 2025 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is here, with three qualifying points prep races on the schedule for Saturday, March 1. In New York, the Gotham Stakes will be held at Aqueduct, while in south Florida, the Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes will run at Gulfstream Park. Across the country in southern California, the DK Horse San Felipe Stakes is set for Santa Anita Park. Each of these preps offer qualifying points to the 151st Kentucky Derby to the top five finishers on a 50-25-15-10-5- scale.
The Fountain of Youth Stakes and San Felipe Stakes will be broadcast live on CNBC as part of NBC Sports’ 1/ST Racing Tour Presented by MyRacehorse Road to the Kentucky Derby series, airing from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET. The show will also be streamed on Peacock.
FanDuel TV will also show the Fountain of Youth and San Felipe along with additional races on two big race days at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park, including the Santa Anita Handicap Presented by Yamaava’ Resort & Casino. FanDuel TV will air live racing from other tracks such as Turfway Park and Fair Grounds as part of its daily package.
The Gotham along with other races from Aqueduct as well as Oaklawn Park and Tampa Bay Downs will be broadcast on “America’s Day at the Races.” That NYRA-produced show airs on FOX Sports channels three times this weekend, from Friday, Feb. 28, through Sunday, March 2. Check the below schedule for channels and 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.
