NBC, Carr-Hughes Productions Pave Road to the Kentucky Derby

Two years later, the Peacock is making good on its word: the six-race Road to the Kentucky Derby series enters the gate on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) this weekend. Although the three-weekend series may not draw the interest — or production scale — of a Triple Crown race, NBC plans to make it feel like one.
