There are different kinds of racing. The most common is Thoroughbred racing, which of course is what Thoroughbreds are bred for. There are trotters and the breed of horse is the Standardbred. Steeplechasing needs no specific breed but is usually Thoroughbred or Thoroughbred cross. Then different breeds have their own racing, AQHA, APHA,ApHA, Arabian.
