Wikipedia

  1. racehorse

    Horse racing is an equestrian performance sport, typically involving two or more horses ridden by jockeys (or sometimes driven without riders) over a set distance for competition. It is one of the most ancient of all sports, as its basic premise – to identify which of two or more horses is the fastest over a set course or distance – has been mostly unchanged since at least classical antiquity.Horse races vary widely in format, and many countries have developed their own particular traditions around the sport. Variations include restricting races to particular breeds, running over obstacles, running over different distances, running on different track surfaces, and running in different gaits. In some races, horses are assigned different weights to carry to reflect differences in ability, a process known as handicapping.While horses are sometimes raced purely for sport, a major part of horse racing's interest and economic importance is in the gambling associated with it, an activity that in 2019 generated a worldwide market worth around US$115 billion.

    In the end, what 20,000 fans inside London's O2 Arena witnessed was me giving 100 percent effort but performing way below world level, for my fans, it must have been like going to support their favorite thoroughbred racehorse at the Grand National, only to see their stallion stumble out the gates like a sedated mule at the Donkey Derby.

  4. Jimmy George:

    When you are entering into racehorse ownership for the first time, the most important thing to establish in your own mind, before you go any further, is how much you are prepared to spend, but there are an awful lot of opportunities out there for race horse owners, in Britain and throughout Europe and further afield. It's a global sport.

When it gets to these games, they're not always as honest as they might be about how fit they are. So you've got to have a racehorse trainer's eye at times to really try and sort that out.
