Horse Racing

Horse racing is a competitive sport that involves two or more horses racing against each other, typically ridden by jockeys, over a set distance on a track. It is one of the oldest forms of organized sports and is often associated with betting, as spectators wager on the outcomes of races. The sport can take various forms, including flat racing (which occurs on a level track) and jump racing (where horses must jump over obstacles). Horse racing has cultural significance in many countries and is governed by specific rules and regulations to ensure fair competition and the welfare of the horses. Major racing events, such as the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National, attract significant attention and participation from fans and bettors alike.
