The final 200-point prep races for next month’s Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve have wrapped up, but the upcoming weekend in horse racing is still active, with several important stakes races scheduled.
Keeneland Race Course will host the Maker’s Mark Mile Stakes Friday, April 10, bringing together some of the best turf milers in training, and the track will also host the final points race for Kentucky Derby 152, the Stonestreet Lexington Stakes, on Saturday, April 11. The Lexington offers a total of 42 Kentucky Derby points to the top five finishers, but none of the race’s entrants this year will be starting in the Derby.
FanDuel TV continues its comprehensive coverage of the Keeneland meet with broadcasts of the Maker’s Mark Mile, Lexington Stakes, and all other races. FanDuel TV will also show live racing from tracks including Gulfstream Park, Laurel Park, and Horseshoe Indianapolis as part of their daily package. Horseshoe Indianapolis began its 2026 meet on Tuesday, April 7.
Additional coverage of Keeneland’s popular meet is available via the Keeneland livestream on keeneland.com and the track’s YouTube channel, and on “Today at Keeneland,” a 30-minute preview show before each racecard hosted by Keeneland Director of Communications Gabby Gaudet and analyst Scott Hazelton. “Today at Keeneland” streams on keeneland.com, YouTube, and several other outlets.
On Saturday, Keeneland coverage will be part of “America’s Day at the Races” on FOX Sports along with live racing from Aqueduct and Oaklawn Park. Afternoon races at Keeneland including the Lexington Stakes will air on FS1, as will the Apple Blossom Handicap for fillies and mares at Oaklawn Park. NYRA-produced “America’s Day at the Races” runs from Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12 this week – 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.
