Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport in which horses run against each other, typically on a set track, for a prize or wager. The sport has a rich history and includes various types of races, such as flat racing, steeplechase, and harness racing. It often involves thoroughbred horses, which are bred specifically for speed and stamina. Races can differ in terms of distance, surface (dirt, turf, synthetic), and rules, and they are typically organized by clubs or associations. Horse racing is also associated with betting, where spectators and fans wager on the outcomes of races, adding an element of strategy and excitement to the event. The sport is popular worldwide and includes prestigious events such as the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National.
