Aqueduct: Wood Memorial to air live on NBC Sports

The $1 million Wood Memorial, New York’s final prep for the Kentucky Derby, will be shown on NBC Sports as part of a 90-minute broadcast that also will include the Santa Anita Derby.

The Wood will be race 10 on a 12-race card on April 5 that will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern, instead of the usual 1:20 p.m. Post time for the Wood is 5:40 p.m., and it is one of four graded stakes on the program.

Also on the Wood card are the Grade 1 Carter Handicap, which will be run as race 11, and the Bay Shore and Gazelle, two stakes that will precede the Wood.

◗ Noble Moon, unraced since winning the Grade 2 Jerome Stakes here Jan. 4, was credited with a half-mile workout in 51 seconds over the Belmont training track Wednesday. His connections are hoping to make the Wood Memorial.
