After 24 prior attempts to win the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, trainer Todd Pletcher finally snagged the victory he’d been waiting for his entire career. This Saturday, his super protégé Super Saver will try for the second jewel in horse racing’s ever-elusive Triple Crown. But before the call to the post on NBC, watch as history is made for another legend in the equine industry as Great Britain’s William Fox-Pitt chases his Rolex Kentucky CCI**** dream. 2010 marks his ninth attempt at victory in six years; this year, he’ll be riding Cool Mountain.

Presented by Land Rover, the Rolex Equestrian Championships will air Saturday, May 15, at 3:00 p.m. [ET] on NBC.
Watch as some of the best eventing horses and riders in the world tackle one of the toughest courses at the beautiful Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, vying for more than $250,000 in prize money and a Rolex watch.

Immediately following, watch Super Saver at Pimlico during the 135th running of the Preakness.
