Kentucky Derby Week Television Coverage

The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby (G1) is Saturday, and the NBC Sports group will have it covered, with 14 ½ hours of coverage beginning on Wednesday on the NBC Sports Network, with the Run for the Roses broadcast live on NBC on Saturday.

The Derby and Oaks coverage will feature co-hosts Bob Costas, a 22-time Emmy Award-winner, and veteran NBC Sports commentator Tom Hammond; three-time Kentucky Derby winner Gary Stevens; contributing analysts/handicappers Mike Battaglia and Bob Neumeier; analyst Randy Moss; host Laffit Pincay, III; reporters Kenny Rice, Donna Brothers and Jay Privman; race caller Larry Collmus. Also, TODAY’s Jenna Wolfe will contribute features and Catt Sadler of NBCUniversal’s E! will talk Kentucky Derby fashions and handle celebrity interviews.

Hall of fame jockey and two-time Kentucky Derby-winner Jerry Bailey will join NBC Sports Network’s commentary team on Derby Day. Bailey, who also won twice in the Preakness and twice in the Belmont, won the Kentucky Derby in 1993 (Sea Hero) and 1996 (Grindstone).

Horse Racing Radio Network (http://horseracingradio.net) will be providing live radio coverage of the races on both Oaks and Derby Day.

HRTV will broadcast live from Churchill Downs all week and will be showing the Churchill Downs races live.
