The focus of the horse racing world in North America hones in on Churchill Downs this week, as contenders for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve arrive to the iconic Louisville track and begin training in preparation for the 151st Derby May 3.
There’s still plenty of high-quality racing on the schedule, however, led by the ongoing Spring Meet at Keeneland Race Course. All races from Keeneland will be shown live on FanDuel TV as part of that network’s comprehensive coverage of the Lexington track (no racing on Easter Sunday, April 20). FanDuel TV will also show live racing from tracks including Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park, and Horseshoe Indianapolis, which begins its 2025 meet on Tuesday, April 15.
Additional coverage at Keeneland includes the popular “Today at Keeneland,” show, a 30-minute race-day preview hosted by Gabby Gaudet and Scott Hazelton. “Today at Keeneland,” will be shown live on FanDuel every Saturday and Sunday during the meet and streams live every race day on Keeneland.com, Keeneland Select, Keeneland’s YouTube channel, and several other outlets.
Live racing from Aqueduct and Oaklawn Park is featured on “America’s Day at the Races.” The NYRA-produced show runs from Thursday, April 17, through Saturday on FOX Sports – 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.
For livestreaming content, America’s Best Racing is excited to announce the launch of “The Saturday Show – Live Betting with the Boys,” a fast-paced and exciting betting show hosted by Ryan Anderson and Jackson Muniz. The premiere episode will cover racing at Keeneland and Aqueduct and goes live at 4 p.m. ET on ABR’s Facebook, X, and YouTube channels.
Here’s a rundown of this week’s TV and radio horse racing coverage as excitement builds for Derby 151 a little more than two weeks away.
