The Derby Draw will be on May 4th from 5-6 pm ET on VERSUS (or whatever NBC calls it by then). The pill-pull will be conducted live during that hour.

Vs. will have the entire undercard starting at 11am....minus of course the Woodford Reserve which gets no TV coverage every year.

No clue if they are showing it on NBC however their coverage will be on when the race is run

I'm 53 years old, and I've not seen the Woodford televised on the major network. They have shown a Derby preview type show.

I don't recall the Woodford ever being televised. Instead, NBC just owns the rights and typically makes viewers wait.
