This article explains when your winnings post, when you can place a wager, how to find carryovers and the racing schedule, and how scratches and odds updates work on Oaklawn Anywhere.
What you need to know
When winnings post to your account
Your Account History and Account Balance update within a few minutes from the time the official race results are posted at the host track.
When you can place a wager
You can place wagers up to post time, which is the scheduled start time of the race. Some tracks now close wagering before post time.
Wagering on tomorrow's races
Except for some events such as the Triple Crown races or the Breeders’ Cup, we only offer racing for the current day.
Scratches and changes
A scratch is a horse that has been withdrawn from a race. Most tracks send their scratches and changes to us multiple times a day:
- Early scratches are posted when wagering becomes available for the day.
- Late scratches usually arrive about one hour before post time for the first race.
Current odds
Current odds are broadcast directly from our member racetracks and update every sixty (60) seconds or less. The closer it gets to post time for the race, the more frequently the odds update.
How to find carryovers and the racing schedule
A carryover is money left in a wagering pool, such as a jackpot pool, that was not paid out and is added to that pool for a future race.

Important details
- Place wagers early: To avoid being “shut out” (your wager is not accepted) because the host track closed wagering early or because of internet delays, we recommend placing wagers as early as possible.
- Schedule changes: Track cancellations and changes to the racing calendar are updated as soon as we receive official word from each track.
- Weather delays: On days with potential weather issues, tracks sometimes delay sending scratches and changes while they decide on the day’s races, such as taking races off the turf or canceling them.
