An exacta is a type of bet where you pick the horses who will finish first and second, in that order ("exact").

Horse racing is not a team sport. Jockey's ride the horses in races, Trainers train the horse, and Owners own the horse.

Barrel racing got its start with the Women's Professional Rodeo Association in 1948, in Texas. The course was originally a figure-eight pattern, but was replaced with the more difficult clover leaf pattern.

Definitely! Most thoroughbreds have long, slender legs and muscled haunches, causing them to move with a forward motion that looks strong and effortless. You should google video, "thoroughbred horses on the flat" and see what they come up with. Thoroughbreds, to me, are one of the most graceful horses around!

Thoroughbreds were originally just bred to be faster than other horses but over the years they have become scientifically infused with more Arab, Barb and some Friesian Sporthorse to become bigger, faster, stronger and a lot less fragile.

Well, professionals have gotten as low as 12 seconds, but it really depends on the arena you are in and the size of the pattern. Some arenas make your time differ as much as a few seconds. A good time in an average arena is about 16 seconds.

They can cost up to 1 million dollars. 1 million! But some can cost only 75 dollars. Some being rescued from the meat wagon and abused horses cost very little. But for sure, I'm positive, there has been horses for so much that they can be worth more than a rare car or even a house

what happens is they are either sold to someone, sent to a rescue or are sent to their death: the slaughter house. few with good bloodlines are kept for breeding.

Thoroughbreds were first bred from lines of Arabians for their large nostrils and great lung capacity. This enabled them to cover long distances at a fast pace and have enough oxygen in their bodies to perform such great feats. Many other breeds are also derived from the Arabian.

There is no real correct answer to this question because many kinds of horses jump and do dressage and do it well. The dressage and hunter community seem to lean toward the warmbloods and jumpers and eventers tend to lean toward thoroughbred type horses. That is more for upper level though. At lower levels, as long as the horse is built for it, has good comformation, no lameness issues and has a good head, they can jump and do dressage no matter what the breed.

In the United States, the leading Web site for handicapping information is The Daily Racing Form. See related links for a link to its site, as well as a link to a guide to horse racing on the Internet.

It is limited to three year old thoroughbreds only. No Belgians or mustangs need apply. Geriatric Gypsy Horses go away, Premature ponies will be escorted out. All size challenged animals like Hanoverian's may leave their applications in the circular file cabinet next to the watercooler.

They are bred to run. Someone said that the Thoroughbred has been bred and inbred with a locomotive for a heart and champange glass stems for legs. Perhaps some form of Genetic discipline or engineering will be required.

Yes. There is a Horse Racing mini game.

Befriend Katy to five hearts and speak with her while she is at Brownie Ranch early in the day. You should get the cut scene where she challenges you to a Horse Race.

That will unlock the Horse Race mini game and you can play it as many times as you want by selecting "Mini Games" while at the title screen.

If you look on your calender at your house, it will show that on fall and spring, there will be a horse festival (the day you can race your horses) go to theadore at the town square and he will ask you what you want to do. go to "start the race" and he will ask you if you want to perticipate. In order to participate your horse will have to be close to that ranking level. If it says you cant participate keep doing the same thing. If its your 4th time doing that and it still says you cannot participate,then you must have not had leveled up your horse with 2 hearts. You have to have 2 or more hearts in order to participate at least one of your horses.If you still don't understand, I'm not shure what you can do.I hope I helped! - Ashlie R.
