Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport involving the racing of horses, typically ridden by jockeys. It is often conducted on a track or a designated course, where horses are bred and trained specifically for speed and agility. The sport can take various forms, including flat racing, where horses run on a level surface, and jump racing, where they navigate obstacles. Races are usually organized by specific rules and might involve betting, making the event popular both as a sport and a form of entertainment. Horse racing has a long history and is a significant cultural and social event in many countries, with notable events such as the Kentucky Derby, the Grand National, and the Melbourne Cup drawing large audiences and participants.
