The coronavirus has had a major impact on the sports world with drastic measures in place to slow its spread. That impact has carried over to the sports betting world. However, top-rated online sportsbooks are doing everything within in their power to still offer betting action on live events.
There is still international basketball, hockey and soccer on the board along with other betting sports such as darts and cricket. Two of the biggest draws for US players at these online books is major graded horse races in the racebook and live-dealer table games in the casino.

Staying on The 2020 Kentucky Derby Trail
This year’s Kentucky Derby will probably be run later in the year, but that is not stopping the 2020 Kentucky Derby prep season from holding major graded races in March and April.
The show continues to go on for now with a number of big races on the board in the coming weeks.
The first big event is this Saturday’s Grade 2 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds Race Course near New Orleans.
The total prize purse for this 1 1/16 mile run in dirt is $1 million.
The field for this year’s event is filled with 16 three-year old thoroughbreds looking to nail down a spot in the 2020 Kentucky Derby.
America’s Bookie is your premier online Racebook with over 75 thoroughbred and harness horse betting tracks. Win, place, or show has never been easier.
Trainer Mark Casse’s Enforceable is a solid colt to watch after taking second in the recent Risen Star at Fair Grounds last month. Also in the field is trainer William Mott’s Modernist, who actually won that race.
To help build excitement for the featured event, there are three more graded stakes races on Saturday’s card at Fair Grounds.
