Harness racing was once a trendsetter in betting innovation before the rise of online sports betting. Today, online sports betting sites are leading the way with innovations like same-game parlays and live betting, keeping customers engaged and offering more wagering opportunities.

To keep up with the energy of sports betting, harness racing tracks need to revamp their betting options. Ideas include introducing live betting on harness racing, allowing wagers on specific outcomes within a race, and implementing same-race parlays that include bets on horses, drivers, and trainers.

Future book wagering could also be a way to attract more interest in harness racing, allowing bets on driver and trainer win totals for a race card. This type of betting is popular in sports betting and could provide a new way for fans to engage with the sport.
