Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport involving horses racing against each other, typically ridden by jockeys. The primary objective is to determine which horse can complete a specified distance in the shortest time. Horse racing can take place on various surfaces, including dirt, turf, and synthetic tracks, and is often held in both flat racing and jumping formats (such as steeplechasing).

Events are usually categorized by breed, distance, and race type, with thoroughbred racing being one of the most popular forms. Races can range from short sprints to long-distance contests and are often accompanied by betting, where participants wager on the outcome of races. Horse racing has a long history and is a significant part of various cultures, attracting large audiences and substantial financial investments.
