You’ll find the first three opponents in Crow’s Perch. Just go to the crossroads outside the western side of town and talk to Radko – he’ll sign you up, and you’ll get to choose who to race first. All three take place on the same track – from there to Blackbough and back.

Version 1.20 the horse race on Fayrlund is bugged out so bad you cant even start the first art of the race. Seems like … invisible obstacles or something? Needs to be looked into by CDPR. Along with the missing card “Emhyr var Emreis” ( without the B&W DLC installed). What an aggrivating mess. Should be able to platinum with 1.20 base version of came. It is impossible.
Is anyone else not getting the achievement even though you have won all of the races ?? I have won all the races and there are non left in my quests log yet still no achievement.
hello, i can find all the races fine apart from the one at crows perch im struggling with. Just doesn’t show on the notice board and there is no one by the cross roads to the west of crows perch.

Try going there at night, although they are there for me during the day and they force a wait until midnight if you choose to race.
I had the same problem. Had to do some main quest before the race was “resarted”
