Horse Racing has taken a leap as the excitement is going live at the Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs in Oklahoma. Horse race betting on this number 1 online gambling website is all set to take place at this exciting event on March 22. Some of the top contenders will take to the track for the 12th consecutive year. A plethora of 270 races will take place in a span of five days. The races will begin at 1:00 pm and the horses will be ready to gallop once again. Last year was a challenge with the pandemic, yet this was one of the few tracks running during spring. The racing security John Lies stated that they will take the best measures under the CDC guidelines and pandemic restrictions.

The Horse Racing Betting Stakes

While horse racing betting goes live on March 22, the Stakes races will start on April 12. The Wilma Mankiller Stakes with the guaranteed $50,000 will take place on April 12. The Highland Ice State with a guaranteed $50,000 will take place on April 13. Following these two is the Miranda Diane Stakes with a guaranteed $55,000 that will take place on May 3. May 4 will be the TRAO Classic Sprint followed by the Cinema Stakes on May 24. The Will Rogers Stakes will take place on May 25. Finally, the Cherokee Nation Classic Cup and the More Than Even Stakes will conclude on May 26. Both races will have a guaranteed purse of $55,000.

The Competition

The Competition is believed to be tough this year as Thoroughbred competitors will take to the track. To make things more challenging, the Racing Association of Oklahoma has adjusted the stakes accordingly. The local stock is also believed to have better opportunities. This year is sure to be better than the last as the entire event has taken a big step forward. 270 races are going to be entertaining with full of excitement and big opportunities for bettors to place their bets.

Van Dyke to Ride in Kentucky

Drayden Van Dyke who was voted for the Eclipse Award in 2014 will ride at Keeneland and later and Churchill Downs. Van Dyke might return to California at the Del Mar for the summer meet. The 26-year-old jockey is all set to ride the spring meeting at Keeneland at Santa Anita in March. Van Dyke will ride from April 2 to 23 at the spring-summer meeting at Churchill Downs. During the Santa Clara spring meeting, he struggled as he won with six of 72 mounts. During his second race on February 15, Van Dyke used his whip in excess and that led to the suspension. Hence, he will not be riding this weekend. Van Dyke received a three-day suspension from Santa Anita stewards. Van Dyke will also ride Tizamagician in Grade 1 on March 6 for the Santa Anita Handicap.
