Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport involving horses running on a track, typically against one another, to determine which horse is the fastest. It is often organized in various formats, including flat racing, where horses sprint over a straight course or around a track, and jump racing, where horses navigate obstacles. Races can vary in distance, surface, and type, and they may be run on dirt, turf, or all-weather tracks. Horse racing has a long history and is often associated with betting, where spectators wager on the outcomes of races. It is a popular spectator sport and has a significant cultural presence in many countries, often linked to events like the Kentucky Derby in the United States or the Grand National in the United Kingdom.
