There’s just a little over two weeks until the 152^nd Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 2, and contenders for the first jewel of horse racing’s Triple Crown are arriving at Churchill Downs for final workouts before the race.

Meanwhile, there is still plenty of excitement on hand in the sport, topped by a rematch of the 1-2 finishers from last year’s Kentucky Derby at Oaklawn Park and a racecard at Laurel Park that will have an impact on the second Triple Crown race, the Preakness Stakes at that Maryland track on May 16.

Sovereignty and Journalism, the respective winner and runner-up of the 2025 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets, are scheduled to make their 4-year-old debuts in the $1.25 million Oaklawn Handicap Saturday, April 18. That race will also include 2023 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic winner White Abarrio and will be broadcast live on FS2 as part of NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” show. The Oaklawn Handicap will also air on FanDuel TV.

At Laurel Park, five stakes races are scheduled for Saturday, topped by the Federico Tesio Stakes. That race offers its winner an automatic berth in the $2 million Preakness Stakes, which will be held at Laurel this year while Pimlico Race Course undergoes reconstruction. Those races will be broadcast on FanDuel TV and will also be featured in ABR’s livestream (see below).
