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.S., there are flat and endurance races. In flat races, horses are raced along a flat course made of turf, dirt, or synthetic material, up to 1.5 miles long. In endurance races, the horses race over long natural tracks, up to 250 miles long, with the race held over multiple days.
