Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive equestrian sport where horses are trained to run at speed over a set distance. Typically, the races occur on a racetrack, and the goal is for the horse and jockey to finish the race in the shortest time. Horse racing can involve various types of events, including flat racing, where horses sprint on a flat surface, and jumps racing, where horses must navigate obstacles. The sport is often associated with betting, where spectators wager on the outcome of races, contributing to its popularity. Additionally, horse racing has a significant cultural presence in many countries, with prestigious events like the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National garnering specific attention.
