Advance-deposit wagering (ADW) is a form of gambling on the outcome of horse races in which bettors must fund their account before being allowed to place bets. ADW is often conducted online or by phone. In contrast to ADW, credit shops allow wagers without advance funding; accounts are settled at month-end.

By 1993, Balmoral Park became a national leader in the use of standardized saddle pads.

For example in the past, when Arlington was racing thoroughbreds, Hawthorne would hold harness racing. The race meeting schedules are posed on each track's website and on the website of the Racing Board.
