Nashville Derby's $3-Million Purse Heads to Network Television

NBC Sports will bring the Grade II Nashville Derby to a national audience Saturday, broadcasting live from Kentucky Downs with coverage getting underway at 4 p.m. on NBC, alongside a simultaneous stream on Peacock. The race carries a purse of $3 million, a figure that puts significant money behind the field taking to the course that afternoon. Fans outside Kentucky Downs' gates will be able to watch the running unfold from home, on network airwaves or through the streaming platform, rather than only from the rail.
