NBC Sports presents new “1/ST Saturday” Triple Crown prep race coverage, an unrivaled day of bicoastal racing featuring seven horse races live from 1/ST RACING's Gulfstream in Hallandale Beach, Fla., and Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., this Saturday, March 5 at 4 p.m. ET on CNBC.
Saturday's show will feature a live race every 15 minutes.
Highlighting Saturday's live coverage are the first races in NBC Sports' “Road to the Kentucky Derby” coverage, the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes from Gulfstream and the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes from Santa Anita.
The Fountain of Youth and San Felipe each award 50 Derby qualification points to the winner, essentially making each race a “Win and You're In” qualifier for the Derby.
Britney Eurton hosts Saturday's coverage, alongside analysts Jerry Bailey, the Hall of Fame jockey, and Randy Moss. Reporters/handicappers Nick Luck (Gulfstream) and Eddie Olczyk (Santa Anita) will report live from the racetracks.
Coverage will be streamed live on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.
