Horse racing is a sport where individuals race each other on horses to be the first to cross the finish line, with the speed of the horse being the deciding factor. In the U.K., there are flat and national hunt races. In flat racing, horses are raced along a flat course made of turf, up to 2 miles long. In national hunt, the horses must race through a course made of turf with obstacles that the horses must jump over, including fences and hurdles.
