horseracing
Equine speed competition
Horseracing is the sport of racing horses, typically with jockeys riding thoroughbreds around a track.
It's one of the oldest organized sports, closely associated with gambling—bettors wager on which horse will win, place, or show.
Major events like the Kentucky Derby draw massive audiences.
Also spelled as two words: horse racing.
