The upcoming weekend in horse racing is light in terms of stakes races compared to what will follow—more than two months of heavy activity on the road to the 152nd Kentucky Derby (G1). There is one qualifying points prep scheduled: the John Battaglia Memorial Stakes held during the evening Saturday, Feb. 21, at Turfway Park in northern Kentucky.
The Battaglia and all other races from Turfway during its winter/spring meet will be televised live on FanDuel TV. That network also shows live racing from tracks including Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park, Laurel Park, and Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots as part of its comprehensive daily package.
Racing from Aqueduct Racetrack and Oaklawn Park is showcased on "America's Day at the Races" during a four-day span this week that also includes select races from Turf Paradise. "America's Day at the Races" airs on FOX Sports—check the below schedule for channels and times.
Horse racing from tracks around the world is available to subscribers on Racetrack Television Network, which can be livestreamed on all devices (computer, tablet, and smartphone) and on TV via DISH Network, Amazon Fire and Roku.
Here's a rundown of this week's horse racing coverage on TV, streaming, and radio:
