Jockeys ride them
Racehorses is the plural of racehorse—a horse bred and trained for competitive racing.
The term applies primarily to Thoroughbreds, but also to Standardbreds (harness racing) and Quarter Horses (sprint races).
The racehorses were led to the starting gate.
Figuratively, someone described as a racehorse is fast, competitive, or high-performing.
