NBC Sports fantasy football analyst Matthew Berry is branching out. He’ll join the network’s coverage of the 149th Kentucky Derby next weekend.
Berry will host a segment called “Handicapping 101 with Matthew Berry”, which will aim to highlight the basics of horse race betting to novice viewers.
“Being at the Kentucky Derby is a sports bucket list moment for me as a long-time fan and viewer of the race,” Berry said. “Getting to do my show from historic Churchill Downs and then be a part of NBC’s coverage of The 149th Kentucky Derby is awesome. I promise to wait till I’m off air to start in on the mint juleps.”
Additionally, Berry will hose a special edition of Fantasy Football Happy Hour on Peacock live from Churchill Downs in the run-up to the event. He will be joined by Jay Croucher, Connor Rogers, and NBC Sports handicapper Drew Dinsick.
Raceday coverage from the 149th Kentucky Derby begins at Noon ET on Saturday, May 6th on both NBC and Peacock.
