While it doesn't maintain physical international offices, its racing content is distributed globally through simulcasting partnerships with racetracks and wagering outlets in North America and other countries. This allows international audiences to watch and wager on Emerald Downs races, giving it a reach beyond its physical location. It also attracts some international participants (owners, trainers, jockeys) to its live race meets.
