What is the song played at the start of a horse race?

Answer 1

Popular horse racing songs include:

• The Camptown Races
• The William Tell Overture (Finale)

At the Kentucky Derby they play "My Old Kentucky Home"

At the Preakness they play "Maryland, My Maryland'

At the Belmont they used to play "The Sidewalks of New York"

Now they play "New York, New York" which is a crappy tune by Sinatra and Lousy Minelli.
