Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport involving two or more horses ridden by jockeys or driven by drivers racing at speed around a track. It is typically organized as a series of events where horses are raced against one another, with the outcome determined by which horse crosses the finish line first. The races can vary in distance and surface, including dirt, turf, or synthetic tracks. Horse racing has a long history and is often associated with gambling, as spectators frequently place bets on the outcomes of the races. Additionally, the sport has various formats, such as flat racing, where horses run on a level track, and jump racing, where they navigate obstacles. Horse racing is also governed by specific rules and regulations, which can differ by jurisdiction and type of race.
