The sight of racing thoroughbreds. Valiant jockeys
aiming for the win. An overwhelming roar from the crowd. On the race
tracks, “horse power” takes on a whole new meaning, as it brings
with it one’s passion for winning and an inspired commitment to
preserve a treasured heritage.
Long before horses dominated
hippodromes and such similarly constructed racetracks, they have
already been racing for nobility. Dubbed as “the sport of
kings,” horse racing brandished the brawn and vitality of royals
in such glorious conquests as chariot races of Roman times. Even in
mythology, the sport found its rightful place as steeds of the gods.
Today, horse racing has evolved into a national pastime, but
nevertheless kept its glory alive for racers and racing enthusiasts
alike.
