Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive equestrian sport in which horses are raced against one another, often around a track, to determine which horse is the fastest over a specific distance. It involves a variety of race formats, including flat racing, where horses race on a level surface, and jump racing, where horses navigate obstacles. Horse racing is governed by rules and regulations to ensure fair competition and the welfare of the animals involved. The sport has a significant cultural and historical presence, often associated with gambling, and is popular across many countries worldwide. Various prestigious events, such as the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National, highlight its prominence.
