Honestly, it depends on what the racing level is. If a horse lets say gets first place in one race and its owner doesnt cool him down and needs to be in the next race it will colique and die. I believe usually 1 or 2 die in every race. They may also trip and they might break there legs and when a horse breaks their leg you really should put it down...Hope this helped

The Caufeild cup is held the Saturday three weeks befor the Melbourne cup

In states that allow gambling, (Nevada, New Jersey) the standard legal age is 18.

Yes, Ruffian won the Triple Tiara.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Triple_Tiara_of_Thoroughbred_Racing

The Triple Tiara consists of the Mother Goose Stakes (which will be run June 27 this year), the Coaching Club American Oaks (July 25), and the Alabama Stakes (August 22), although the Alabama replaced the Acorn Stakes in 2003. Unlike the Triple Crown, where all three races are run at different tracks, the first two races are run at Belmont Park, with the Alabama Stakes being run at Saratoga.

And will whoever keeps editing this to delete this information give it up already? Just because you don't want it to be right doesn't make it less right. I'm studying horses professionally, and I've been a fan of racing (and Ruffian) since I was nine years old. Go read any of the books on Ruffian if you don't believe there's a Triple Tiara. "Ruffian: Burning From The Start" is a great one, as is the Thoroughbred Legends book. Both mention the Triple Tiara.

they are restricted to riding at 9 meetings a week.

The weights due to be carried by Grand National runners range from a minimum of 10 stone (140lb) to a maximum of 11 stone 10 pounds (164 lbs). This includes the weight of the "tack" (saddle etc) as well as the jockey.

No, Northern Dancer didn't win the Triple Crown.

Phar Lap He was born in Australia and one of Australia's most famous horses.

Clear and can be blue purple or dark colors

Horses can only enter the derby when they are at a certain age, which means that can't enter the derby more than once. So the answer is pretty much none. But they can enter the Preakness and Belmont Stakes after the Derby in the same year.

You may touch the barrel. If the barrel is knocked over, there is a time penalty.

You need a bridle with a bit he's comfortable with (need to control his head and turns when he's racing around the barrels), and a western saddle with a breast collar on him to hold the saddle in place. Leg boots are good too to protect his tendons just in case he may trip on himself by accident. Just make sure to not wrap them too tight, as this can disrupt blood flow to and from his feet.

well in 2007 Curlin lost the Kentucky Derby ( i think her placed third) but won the preakness and lost the blemont to the filly Rags to Riches.

Technically, a mare is defined as a female horse over the age of three. A filly is a female horse three years or younger. Since the Kentucky Derby is a race for 3-year-olds only, no mare has ever won. However, three fillies have won the Kentucky Derby: Regret (1915); Genuine Risk (1980); and Winning Colors (1988).

No, only at the place you bought them, unless you have a special deal with a specific company.

There is no dress code at Longchamps Racecourse. You can wear whatever you want to but you can be kicked out if you are not wearing a shirt or shoes.

They are called classic horse races because the year before they were sold at a thoroughbred sale called the Sydney classic yearling sale and all horses that were nominated for that sale can come back and run in the race and can win money. Horses in this race can only be from one of the many sales.

Red Rum had to be put down after suffering a stroke.

Red Rum won 24 races in his career, most famously winning the Aintree Grand National 3 times and the Scottish Grand National once.
