Variations Of thoroughbred Horseracing

by Simon M Skinner

Thoroughbred horse racing is something which most of us have some familiarity with, largely thanks to the three biggest Thoroughbred horse races being televised each year. These three are the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes and the Kentucky Derby, collectively known as the Thoroughbred Triple Crown.

All three of the Triple Crown races are run on a flat dirt track. The horses tend to pace themselves through most of the race, saving a surge of power and speed for the finish. There have also been cases of horses with so much speed that they win the race from start to finish.

What many spectators to these races do not realize is that this is only one type of Thoroughbred horse racing that is available and while these races are the most popular Thoroughbred horse races, there are other forms of Thoroughbred horseracing that are popular as well.
