You can follow all the highs and lows, the fashion faux-pas and frocks of the 137th Kentucky Derby on NBC. The Derby will be taking place on May 7, at 4pm ET live on this channel live and exclusive from Churchill Downs in Louisville, for the first leg of what is known as horse racing’s elusive Triple Crown (featuring the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes).
Some of the popular horses which punters should take a bet on include Dialed In, Archarcharch, Pants on Fire, Midnight Interlude, Nehro, Soldat, Stay Thirsty, Toby’s Corner, Mucho Macho Man and Comma to the Top. Last year’s winner was jockey Calvin Borel who rode Super Saver to victory in last year’s Run for the Roses. In fact the American network NBC has coverage of all three Triple Crown races with the Preakness taking place on May 21 and the Belmont which is normally on June 11.
There’s also plenty of coverage surrounding the Kentucky Derby on TV and online from the NBC Universal networks leading up to the race. The Today Show will be broadcasting live from Churchill Downs starting Thursday as well as several features from NBCUniversal Properties Including CNBC, Access Hollywood, Weather Channel, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, E!, Style, iVillage and Daily Candy
