The race serves as the middle leg of the English Triple Crown, which began with the 2000 Guineas and is followed by the St Leger. The Epsom Derby is also the U.K.’s richest horse race, with a purse of more than 1.6 million British pounds (more than $2 million USD). Led by Cracksman and Cliffs Of Moher, the field features 20 entries for Saturday’s race.

NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app – NBC Sports Group’s live streaming product for mobile devices, tablets, and connected TVs – will stream coverage of the Epsom Derby. The NBC Sports app will stream coverage via “TV Everywhere,” giving consumers additional value to their subscription service, and making high-quality content available to MVPD customers both in and out of the home and on multiple platforms.
