Horse racing is one of the oldest and most respected forms of sports betting in the world. In India, the sport carries a rich tradition, with licensed racecourses operating in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad for over a century. Stake brings that legacy online, covering major international and domestic races with competitive odds and a broad range of betting markets. New users can also participate in Stake’s Weekly Raffle, with a prize pool of USD 75,000 distributed every week.
Stake covers all major international and local horse racing events, giving bettors in India access to the biggest races across turf, dirt, and synthetic tracks worldwide.
Held annually on the first Saturday of May at Churchill Downs, Louisville, the Kentucky Derby is a 1.25-mile (2,012 m) dirt track classic. It is the first leg of the American Triple Crown. Past champions include Secretariat, American Pharoah, and Justify. Stake offers pre-race and ante-post markets on all declared runners.
Royal Ascot is a five-day British flat racing festival held each June at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. The meeting features 36 races, including eight Group 1 contests such as the Gold Cup (2.5 miles on turf). It attracts elite global competition and draws significant betting volume from Indian punters.
The Dubai World Cup, run at Meydan Racecourse each March, is the world’s richest horse race with a total prize purse of USD 30.5 million. The headline race covers 2,000 m on dirt. It regularly features horses from the United States, Europe, Japan, and the Middle East, making it a marquee event for international bettors.
Known as the race that stops a nation, the Melbourne Cup is a 3,200 m turf handicap run at Flemington Racecourse on the first Tuesday of November. International stayers dominate the field. Past winners include Makybe Diva (three consecutive wins, 2003–2005) and Cross Counter. Stake covers full runner markets and race specials.
The Grand National at Aintree Racecourse is a 4-mile 514-yard (6.9 km) National Hunt steeplechase featuring 30 fences. Run each April in Liverpool, it is one of the most watched racing events globally. The large field of up to 40 runners creates a wide market, with Each-Way betting particularly popular among Indian users.
The Breeders’ Cup Classic is a 1.25-mile Grade 1 dirt race held each October or November in the United States. It serves as the season-ending championship for North American thoroughbreds. Past winners include Flightline, Knicks Go, and Authentic. Stake provides markets across multiple Breeders’ Cup races on the same card.
