Harness racing
- Note: Harness racing is often conducted for short-term meets at various fairs and similar events. Many notable harness races are held at such venues, such as the Fox Stake at the Indiana State Fair and the Little Brown Jug at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Delaware, Ohio. Many of these fair-based races do not conduct legal on-site betting.
