The first Saturday in May marks another Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs. NBC’s coverage of the 150th Kentucky Derby — the first of 2024’s Triple Crown races — begins May 4 at 2:30 pm ET (streaming on Peacock).
With the main event scheduled for a 6:57 pm ET start, you could choose to pre-game with films adapted from classic horse novels: e.g. 1944’s "National Velvet," 1979’s "The Black Stallion," 1994’s "Black Beauty," 2006’s "Flicka" or 2011’s "War Horse." We, however, would opt for the real-life drama of these horse movies and documentaries.
