Horse racing has been around for millennia, that many parts of the ancient world partook in these contests. The Greeks, Romans and Byzantines are known for their affinity for chariot racing. Thoroughbred racing grew in popularity with the British aristocracy, which is why it is often labeled as the “Sport of Kings.” Much like how rodeos evolved out of the practice of cowboys, horse racing gave equestrians an opportunity to hone their skills in order to prepare themselves for battle.

Typical American horse racing will feature races restricted to particular breeds or running over obstacles. Flat racing is a common event where horses race from one point to another either in a straight line or oval track. Steeplechasing is when horses race over various obstacles. It’s possible to find Stars and Stripes Festival tickets at tracks that host the legs of the Triple Crown. Popular among avid and novice fans, the Triple Crown features the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. Belmont Park and the Pimlico Race Course host a variety of races outside the Triple Crown events.
