Horse Race Track

The noble history of horse race track is traced back to England and to Long Island in the United States. Tons of betting on horse race track create excitement that explodes through the crowds and you cannot help but catch the passionate fever that horse racing lovers have known since the 1700s. Horseracing became a professional sport at the turn of the 18th century during the reign of Queen Anne in England (1702-14).

Horseracing in the United States is directly tied to British colonization and the first American horse race track was laid out on Long Island in 1665. Today most public interest in the US surrounds the three Triple Crown races (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes) and the Breeder's Cup. These races have purses of 1 million or more and attract huge television audiences - but being there in person is the best bet!
