Rewrite:

DK Horse is an excellent product in the online betting market of horse racing. It is a combination between DraftKings and Churchill Downs, which is why it is so strong. The simple user interface, availability across many states, and integration into DK Crowns rewards program make this option appealing to many players.

Although this may not offer as much in the way of advanced handicapping tools as some other companies do; such simplicity combined with support from two industry giants gives them credibility and attractiveness in equal measure – all that plus their generous sign up bonus doesn’t hurt either!

Still – live streaming needs expanding on top adding more advanced features for handicapping among its weaknesses where no dedicated loyalty programme exists specifically designed towards horseracing punters.

Overall it seems like quite promising service aimed at people who watch horse races occasionally or regularly but are already familiar with other betting products by DraftKings. With time however they could grow into one the main players within this sector seeing as the platform matures over time being potentially significant player within internet gaming industry focused around thoroughbred racing events.
