Oaklawn Park opens Friday, presenting racing in December for the first time in the track’s history. The new schedule includes inaugural stakes, 2-year-old racing, and a day honoring fan-favorite Whitmore. Hot Springs has also grown and changed since the track held its last season unaffected by the global pandemic.

The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by coast-to-coast action at several major tracks during what is always an enjoyable time on the sport’s annual calendar: Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Churchill Downs unveiled Nov. 22 the 2022 “Official Art of the Kentucky Derby,” by Kentucky artist Aimee Griffith. This marks the sixth year in a row that Churchill Downs tapped a Kentucky artist for the honor.

For the first time, Breeders’ Cup Ltd., America’s Best Racing (ABR), and Hípica TV collaborated to present live coverage, entirely in Spanish, of all 14 Breeders’ Cup World Championships races. Branded as “Breeders’ Cup en Vivo,” the two Spanish Breeders’ Cup broadcasts received more than 282,000 cumulative views while streaming live on Hípica TV’s YouTube channel over the two-day event.

The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by action at Churchill Downs, Del Mar, Aqueduct, and Woodbine as the sport takes a brief respite in big-ticket races before a stakes-packed holiday schedule kicks into gear starting on Thanksgiving, Nov. 25.
