The Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes along with a couple of undercard races from a fantastic Saturday, Feb. 28 card at Gulfstream Park will be broadcast on NBCSN and streamed on Peacock as part of NBC Sports’ 1/ST Racing Tour series. The show airs from 5 to 6:30 p.m. ET. The Fountain of Youth and all other races from Gulfstream will also be shown live on FanDuel TV.
The Gotham Stakes from Aqueduct on Saturday will be televised live on FOX Business during an “America’s Day at the Races” program. That NYRA-produced show runs from Thursday, Feb. 26, through Sunday, March 1, with the other three programs airing on FS2 covering Aqueduct and Oaklawn Park. The “America’s Day at the Races” Sunday show is highlighted by the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn.
FanDuel TV will also show the Gotham and Rebel, and their daily coverage also includes races from tracks such as Santa Anita Park, Turfway Park, and Fair Grounds.
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
