racecard
Bettor's event guide
A racecard is a program listing horses, jockeys, and race details at a horse racing event: I studied the racecard before placing my bet.
In British political discourse, to play the race card is to exploit racial issues for political advantage—a metaphor from card games where one deploys a trump strategically.
