Horse racing
Also called equestrian sport. There are three types of horse racing: flat field racing; steeplechasing or racing over jumps; and harness racing, where horses trot or pace while pulling a driver in a small cart known as a sulky. Horse racing is closely associated with gambling generating a worldwide market of well over U.S. $100 billion.
