The launch also follows recent extensions of Caesars Racebook into Kentucky and Colorado during April 2025

Caesars Entertainment has launched its Caesars Racebook pari-mutuel horse racing platform in West Virginia and Wyoming, representing the racebook’s first expansion since debuting in Kentucky and Colorado during April 2025. 

Caesars Racebook was originally developed in 2022 after Caesars partnered with the New York Racing Association and the organization’s NYRA online wagering vertical.

The horse racing wagering capability is available both on Caesars Racebook and through an interface featured on Caesars Sportsbook. The pari-mutuel wagering application has now launched in 10 states across the US, including New York, Maryland, Illinois, Virginia and Ohio. 

In fellow horse wagering news, FanDuel confirmed plans to phase out FanDuel TV operations by the end of 2027 to Global Gaming Insider on March 27. The decision will result in the elimination of over 100 jobs as the entity continues directing investments toward areas “most critical” to its long-term roadmap and core businesses.

FanDuel CEO Amy Howe, as well as GM of Racing Andrew Moore, commented on how investments required to distribute a linear television network failed to align with the operator’s long-term strategy. 

FanDuel TV originally launched during 2022 as a rebrand of the Television Games Network (TVG), but will now see approximately 60% of its workforce eliminated by the end of June following the operator’s commitment to airing Keeneland and Triple Crown coverage. 

FanDuel Racing and TVG betting accounts will still remain active despite the planned 20-month phase out, as the operator is also set to continue to provide simulcast horseracing feeds through its online betting platforms. 

While the operator’s long-term roadmap and core businesses could reflect greater focus on efforts related to prediction markets, Moore told reporters the offering has not had a significant impact on its existing businesses.
