FanDuel Racing (formerly TVG2 and HRTV) is an American sports-oriented digital cable and satellite television network. It is part of the TVG Network and is owned by Paddy Power Betfair. Dedicated to horse racing, it broadcasts events from U.S. and international racetracks, as well as a range of English and Western horse competitions, news, original programming and documentaries

Horse Racing Television (HRTV) was launched on January 1, 2003 by the Magna Entertainment Corp. providing coverage of races at the 13 company-owned racetracks and programming from 60 other tracks. Magna used the network to promote their Xpressbet wagering system.^[1]

The network was previously known as HRTV, and owned by the Stronach Group. In 2007, Stronach sold 50% of the network to Churchill Downs Incorporated. In February 2015, HRTV was acquired by Betfair, owner of the competing TVG Network. HRTV was consolidated into TVG Network's Los Angeles facilities, and re-branded as TVG2 on October 28, 2015. The move to TVG's facilities also allowed the network to begin broadcasting in high definition.^[2][3][4]

In September 2022, the network was relaunched as FanDuel Racing, consistent with its sister-network's rebrand as FanDuel TV.^[5]
