FanDuel Heads to Kentucky Derby as Only Sportsbook App for Horse Racing

FanDuel is the only sportsbook app where fans can bet on the 150th Run for the Roses.

Through offers, activations, and extensive coverage, FanDuel is giving fans unparalleled access to the Kentucky Derby—both on the ground and online.

FanDuel is the first and only sportsbook to offer traditional sportsbook wagering on horse racing through a single account and wallet. Customers can bet on the Kentucky Derby, the Kentucky Oaks, and all the races from Churchill Downs on Oaks and Derby Days.

"Coupling this exceptional race and our leading technology is a unique opportunity to introduce new fans to the sport of horse racing,” said Andrew Moore, General Manager of Racing at FanDuel. “We will be utilizing our platform to bring FanDuel customers a set of special offers and a one-of-a-kind experience for the Derby.”

FanDuel TV will broadcast live on-site all week at Churchill Downs, providing expert analysis and the latest reporting leading up to the big race. Beginning Saturday, April 27, fans can watch the Derby week coverage and live racing from Churchill Downs (except NBC-exclusive races) on FanDuel TV and FanDuel TV+.

"We couldn't be more excited to bring our loyal audience live racing and unprecedented access during Derby Week on FanDuel TV. We thank Churchill Downs Inc. for our partnership," said Kevin Grigsby, Executive Producer and SVP of FanDuel TV. "There is no bigger event in horse racing than the Kentucky Derby, and FanDuel TV will be there for every step of the action."

FanDuel TV’s coverage will feature racing experts and handicappers, including Todd Schrupp, Christina Blacker, Michael Joyce, Gabby Gaudet, Scott Hazelton, Matt Bernier, Andie Biancone, Caleb Keller, Caton Bredar, and Larry Collmus, “the voice of the Derby.”

The network will also provide exclusive interviews with trainers, jockeys, and key newsmakers.

Emmy-winning host Kay Adams returns to Louisville with “Up & Adams,” broadcasting live Thursday, May 2, and Friday, May 3 on FanDuel TV, YouTube, and Max, with celebrity guests and sports personalities joining the celebration.

FanDuel will also host its inaugural Kentucky Derby Party on Friday, May 3, at Old Forester's Paristown Hall in Louisville, featuring performances by country star Luke Bryan and Grammy-winning R&B singer Ne-Yo.
