Fashionable fans watch the races on Pegasus World Cup day 2020 (Eclipse Sportswire)

This Saturday marks the first signature racing day on the 2023 calendar in North America. At Gulfstream Park, eight stakes races will be held, capped off by the seventh annual $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes Presented by Baccarat. At Oaklawn Park, an important prep race for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is on the schedule: the $750,000 Southwest Stakes. There are several other graded stakes races on tap at different tracks around the country as well.

The Pegasus World Cup, along with the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes Presented by Qatar Racing, will be shown live on NBC and Peacock during a broadcast from 4:30-6 p.m. ET. This show kicks off NBC Sports’ 2023 horse racing coverage, which will include the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Post time for the Pegasus World Cup is 5:40 p.m. ET and the Pegasus World Cup Turf is at 4:40 p.m. ET.

Ahmed Fareed hosts NBC’s Saturday coverage alongside analyst and Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey, analyst Randy Moss, reporters Britney Eurton and Nick Luck, and handicapper Matt Bernier.

The Southwest Stakes will be showcased on NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” along with other action from Oaklawn Park, Aqueduct, and Tampa Bay Downs. “America’s Day at the Races” airs on FS2 and FS1 from Friday-Sunday – check the schedule below for air times.

Undercard races from Gulfstream Saturday will air on FanDuel TV along with races from tracks such as Santa Anita Park, Turfway Park, and Fair Grounds as part of their usual comprehensive coverage. In addition to its usual racing coverage, FanDuel TV will also broadcast the 52nd annual Eclipse Awards on Thursday, Jan. 26, with a red-carpet show airing at 6:30 p.m. ET and the awards ceremony starting at 7:30 p.m. ET live from The Breakers Palm Beach in Florida.

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. RTN will also show the Eclipse Awards on Jan. 26.
