After a weekend without any qualifying points preps for the 2021 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, racing action picks up in a big way this week with three races offering valuable points to Derby contenders at Gulfstream Park, Oaklawn Park, and Turfway Park.

Friday evening, Feb. 26, the first of two Kentucky Derby preps at Turfway Park is scheduled. The John Battaglia Stakes offers qualifying points to the top four finishers on a 10-4-2-1 scale. Saturday, Feb. 27, Oaklawn Park holds the rescheduled Southwest Stakes, which also offers the same points distribution. And down in South Florida, Gulfstream Park will run the Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes, also on Saturday. That race distributes Derby points on a 50-20-10-5 scale to the top four finishers.

The Southwest Stakes will be broadcast live Saturday during the NYRA-produced “America’s Day at the Races” show. The show, presented by Claiborne Farm and America’s Best Racing, will also be broadcast on Sunday and both programs will highlight races from Oaklawn as well as Aqueduct, Tampa Bay Downs, and other tracks. Check the below schedule for air times on FS1 and FS2.

Saturday's Fountain of Youth Stakes and the John Battaglia Stakes on Friday will be broadcast live on TVG as part of their comprehensive coverage.
