TV, live stream: How to watch Saturday's Kentucky Derby preps

There are many ways to tune into a blockbuster Saturday on the 2018 Kentucky Derby trail featuring the Grade 2 Wood Memorial (5:55 p.m. ET), Grade 2 Blue Grass Stakes (6:23 p.m. ET) and Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby (7:30 p.m. ET).

For starters, NBC Sports Network's coverage will return for a second straight week. Featuring commentary from experts Jerry Bailey and Randy Moss, the telecast will air from 5:30 p.m. ET through the Santa Anita Derby, which caps the action.

Of course, our partner, TVG, will also offer live and on-site analysis of the preps, plus other major races Saturday including the Grade 1 Madison at Keeneland and Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct, both features for older horses.

If the network isn't available in your area, signing up for a TVG account will allow access to stream both TVG and TVG2 in high definition. They will also give you $20 FREE just for signing up.

Advanced Deposit Wagering services such as NYRA Bets also stream full race cards from tracks around the United States.

The Horse Racing Radio Network will also carry all three preps on Sirius/XM 83. Earlier Saturday, fans can get their racing fix with HRRN’s popular weekly talk show, the Equine Forum, from 8-10 a.m. ET. It airs on Sirius 219/XM 201 with Saturday's guests including trainers Kiaran McLaughlin, Bob Baffert and Mick Ruis, along with Keeneland’s Jesse Ullery and handicappers Michael Hernon of Gainesway Farm, Steve Castagnola and John Gasper.

And note: Fox Sports' "At the Races" weekly show concluded its run last weekend with the Florida Derby.
