Every few weeks someone asks whether we have USA horse racing data. The short answer is no. Not yet. It is on our roadmap. This page is the plain status, so nobody has to guess.
What is available today
Our coverage is the UK and Ireland, from 2011, and Hong Kong, from 1979. That means racecards, results, horses, jockeys, trainers and courses for both markets, with sectional times and veterinary records where they exist, as downloadable datasets and through the API. Nothing for North America is on sale, and no date is promised for it.
What we plan to build
North American racing is hard to cover well. The records are spread across regulators, track associations and data suppliers, each with its own reporting rules. The goal when we get there is the same standard as the markets we already cover: normalised tables, stable identifiers, consistent encoding of distance and ground, and daily updates.
On the roadmap, the first target is thoroughbred racing in the United States and Canada. Trotting and pacing sit further down the list, and nothing there has been scoped.
Register your interest
If your project needs North American data, tell us. Registering helps us decide what to do first, and we will contact registered people when there is something to try. You can register your interest in a minute.
In the meantime, the UK and Hong Kong datasets are there to work with now, and the Hong Kong racing guide shows how much one market can offer.
