The 143rd runnings of the Kentucky Derby and Oaks have finally arrived but not everyone can make it out to Churchill Downs for the events.
Those watching from home have a couple of options to watch both the Run for the Lilies on Friday and Run for the Roses on Saturday.
First up is TwinSpires.com, the official wagering partner of the Kentucky Derby. TwinSpires.com TV offers free race replays as well as all the live action anyone could want.
In 2014, NBC signed a 10-year broadcast agreement with Churchill Downs to show the Derby and Oaks on NBC, NBCSports (NBCSN) and its digital platforms.
