DraftKings is expanding its horse racing offering by adding a feature that will enable wagering directly in its main sportsbook app.
The sportsbook will launch the feature in nine states ahead of the 2026 Kentucky Derby.
The rollout builds on DraftKings’ existing standalone horse racing app, DK Horse, which will continue operating in some jurisdictions but is expected to be phased out as the integrated product expands.
DraftKings has also used the launch to add Derby-related promotions, including a US$1 million ‘King of the Track’ offer.
Johnny Avello, Director of Race and Sports Operations at DraftKings, said, “DraftKings is committed to delivering the best fan experience across sports, and we’re proud to continue elevating that experience for horse racing with DraftKings Racing.
