Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport where horses are ridden by jockeys or driven in sulkies around a track or over a course. The primary objective is to complete the race in the shortest time possible. Horse racing can take various forms, including flat racing — where horses run directly on a level surface — and jump racing, where they must navigate obstacles. It is often associated with betting, with spectators wagering on the outcomes of the races. The sport has a long history and is popular in many countries, featuring prestigious events such as the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National. Horse racing is governed by specific rules and regulations, and races are often categorized by the age, breed, and sex of the horses.
