Horse Racing

Some do, it depends on the horse and how good the trainer is. However, the best barrel racing hoorses are probably Quarter Horses --------------------------------------------------- it is actually called a standardbred. ANd yes, they can barrel race, some better than others but this breed is known for its versitility

Race horses are feed a diet of high energy foods such as oat, however feeding a horse before they work is not a good idea is it can cause colic so they are not feed before they race as they could die.

A t-shirt with NASCAR Rocks! Written is glow in the dark letters. Jeans are pretty good too as they are easy to put out if they catch on fire. Rules for the pits are, shirt with at least short sleeves, (no tank-tops) long pants, no open toed shoes, you must be 18 yrs. old, (drivers, crew chiefs, owners, etc., familes are exempt from these rules, if you see children in the pits they are family of the aforementioned) you might bring some sun-block, bad sunburnes are common.

It's a trotter.

Thoroughbred horses are found on farms throughout Kentucky. There are also found in every state in the United States and in other countries. They live wherever an owner who loves thoroughbred horses lives.

Not all tracks are counter clockwise, but every NASCAR oval track has only left turns, because the drivers sit on that side of the car. The drivers generally try to keep to the inside of the track (because it is a shorter distance around the track) So by making all left turns, the drivers can better see what is going on around them. It is for safety reasons also; it keeps the driver away from the out side wall (guardrail in the old days).

In Australia, where they have a very active and popular oval track racing industry, the cars turn RIGHT, not left. This has to do with the fact that in that country the driver sits on the right side of the car, not the left as in the USA.

Despite some claims, it has nothing to do with centrifugal forces. Some link the direction the cars follow on track to the spin of water going down a drain- supposedly, the spin of water in a drain is dictated by the earth's rotation and varies depending upon the hemisphere, north or south. The entire drain theory, however, is a myth; the earth's rotation and being in a certain hemisphere has no bearing on either water in a drain nor the forces exerted on cars on a track.

Affirmed, in 1978.

No. Only three year-old horses are allowed to race in the Triple Crown and in horseracing, a mare is defined as a female horse five years old and older.

A three year old female horse is a filly, not a mare.

A three year old male horse is a cold, 5+ he is a horse.

In Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville is most commonly known for horse racing, and is one of the sites for the triple crown.

Super Saver, ridden by last year's winning jockey,

This is a matter subject to much debate.

The top two horses of the century, as named by "The Blood Horse," were Man O'War and Secretariat. Both were excellent racehorses; Man O'War was only defeated once, and that was very narrowly, after what was possibly the worst race in history, while Secretariat managed to set records in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes which still stand, and managed the incredible accomplishments of winning the awards for Three Year Old of the Year, Turf Male of the Year, and Horse of the Year, all in the same year - not to mention he also won Two Year Old of the Year and Horse of the Year together, the first time any two-year-old won Horse of the Year honors.

The greatest filly of all time was most likely Ruffian. Racing in 1974 and 1975, she had ten starts, taking an immediate lead and setting or tying records as she won them all. Her tragic eleventh race is a story that still captures people even today; there was a made-for-TV movie about her in 2007.

Brian Ffletcher in 1973and 1974 and Tommy Stack in 1977

I believe it's called the American Quarter Horse. Its name comes from the fact that it can easily outdistance other horses in races of a quarter mile or less, even from a standing start. Some individuals have been clocked at 55 miles per hour.

Yes, Phar Lap's parents were both Thoroughbred racing horses. Sire: Night Raid Dam: Entreaty

They are both about Thoroughbred race horses, other than that they are unrelated.

I will assume by "derby" you mean Kentucky Derby. In 1984 the winning horse in the Kentucky Derby was Swale, who was a son of Seattle Slew, the 1977 Triple Crown winner. Swale lost the Preakness, finishing 7th, but came back to win the Belmont Stakes 3 weeks later.

Seabiscuit had an extraordinarily long career for a racehorse. From his 2 year old year until his retirement at age 7. Most Thoroughbred's racing careers last 2 or 3 years on average. He raced against many horses in those 7 years but his most memorable would have been the match race between him and superhorse champion War Admiral. The Biscuit was the extreme underdog in this historic race held in the fall of 1938. But true to form, the little bay from California humiliated the Admiral, making him eat dirt in the home stretch, crossing the finish line 4 full lengths ahead of his competitor.

exacta payouts are based upon a pari-mutuel wagering pool. Basically, it all depends on how many people bet on the exacta that just won. If you are the only bettor on EX 1-2 and you bet $2, and the size of the exacta pool is 1000, then you just hit a 1000 dollar exacta. Conversely, if 100 people had bet $2 on EX 1-2 and the pool was 1000, then the exacta payout would be calculated thus- there are two hundred dollars that have to split the other 800, so therefore each *winning* dollar wagered would get paid out 4 bucks in profit. That's an 10 dollar exacta payout. Of course, this math doesnt count for the take of the particular racetrack in that state, but it should help.

In my research, i have found over analysis of 1000 races that the average exacta payout is 89 dollars, the median is 48 dollars, and the mode is 27 dollars.

I have personally hit a 720 dollar exacta before, but I've seen larger payouts go up to 1,200!

The majority of stores remain open on Melbourne Cup day. Some may adjust their hours. Call ahead to be sure.

The starting price. the actual price the bookmakers are offering when the race starts

Currently the tallest competing male jockey is Richard Hughes from the UK who stands at 5'10"

However, Manute Bol, a former basketball player who stands at 7'7", recently did a "stint" as a jockey for a charity event.

Also, the current tallest female jockey is Louise Moeller from Denmark at 6'1", but she only weighs in at 112 lbs! that's hardly a heavy load for a horse.

The Belmont Stakes (3rd of horseracing's Triple Crown) is held every June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. This 1.5 mile race has been known as the "Run for the Carnations" (the winner is blanketed with 300-400 white carnations) since 1990. Previously it was known as the "Test of a Champion". The 1st race, of the Triple Crown, is the Kentucky Derby which as been known as the "Run for the Roses" (winner wears a white and pink rose garland) since 1904. The 2nd race is the Preakness Stakes at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. It is known as "The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans".
