Many sites are available that specialize in live racing coverage based on the region of the venue (such as all Ohio race tracks, for instance) or the type of horse racing involved (harness racing, for example). Some race track venues, such as Aqueduct, Santa Anita and Saratoga, feature their own dedicated feed so that fans can follow the races at home.
