Horse racing is a form of competitive athletics where horses run around race tracks at speeds greater than 30 miles per hour. Horses must jump over hurdles and fences during the race, and jockeys guide them along the course to the finish line. Prize money is awarded to the first, second and third place finishers. The most famous horse races in the world are the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, the Belmont Stakes and the Breeder’s Cup. These races draw hundreds of thousands of spectators each year. A horse race begins when the starter calls out a race name and the horses are brought into the starting gate. Jockeys are then assigned to each horse and begin to help the horse get ready for the race. The race is run in a prescribed order, and any horse that is ineligible to start may be disqualified. When a horse is disqualified, it does not get to participate in the next race or win any money. The stewards of the race investigate the case and determine whether or not the horse was guilty of any foul conduct during the race. Depending on the level of the race, the horse’s owner or trainer can claim a portion of the purse. In some cases, the winner of the race will receive a percentage of the purse as well. Claiming races are designed to give a horse an opportunity to compete in a higher level of racing without losing much money in the process. These races are also a great way to build confidence in a horse and allow it to gain a bit of exposure. The horse’s owner/trainer can also place a wager on the race before it starts. This can be done for a number of reasons, but one popular choice is a superfecta, which involves betting on the first four horses to finish. This type of wager is very difficult, but it can pay out well if the winner does come out on top. Horses are able to understand winning and losing, but it is not natural for them to do so. The reason for this is because they form a close bond with their jockey and handler. When they run well, their jockey/handler gives them a pat on the head and other rewards for running so well. Most horses are subjected to a cocktail of drugs, which are meant to mask their injuries and enhance their performance in the race. This can include sedatives like Lasix or Salix, which are injected into the bloodstream and can cause the horse to bleed from its lungs as it runs, and diuretics that increase water intake. Some horses are euthanised after suffering severe injuries in a race. Other horses are shipped off to slaughter, which is an industry that causes a large number of deaths each year. The animal rights movement is putting pressure on the horse racing industry, with increasing numbers of people turning away from the sport as well as the cruelty associated with it. PETA has been at the forefront of this fight, exposing the abuses involved in training young horses, drug use and transporting animals to slaughterhouses.
